POST SHOW UPDATE: That’s a wrap! The Fun & Games Show was a smashing success. What a wonderful audience! The press agrees! See the article in the Evanston RoundTable including some photos of very happy faces. Plans are already in the works to make this an annual event. Huzzah! Stay tuned for a documentary about the making of this show and all that it means to us (and hopefully to you) to be released later in 2025.

Want more fun & games? We do too! Want more fun & games AND feeling inspired to pay for it? Huzzah, that’s the spirit! Click here or on the Fun & Games Guild logo, follow the leader and directions to our donation piggy bank, give what you can, and we will start working on the next big thing.

Let the games continue!

yours truly, the F&G Guild

The Fun & Games Guild was formed in 2025 for its inaugural show in Evanston, IL 2025. The audience reception was overwhelmingly positive, and we have been asked to do annual shows. The guild will grow exponentially as we create multiple shows that will become a Fun & Games Festival. Original members will be seen in a documentary film to be released late 2025 or early 2026.
