With shiny, multi-colored scales, Rainbow Fish is the most beautiful fish in all of the ocean, and the only one of his kind.

When Rainbow Fish refuses to share his vibrant, shimmering scales, the whole ocean seems to turn against the vain creature.

Unhappy that no one adores him anymore, the Rainbow Fish seeks out the wise Octopus, who helps him learn that it’s far better to be admired for being kind than for being beautiful.

PERFORMANCE VENUES Palatine Park District is proud to support the arts in the Palatine community by presenting summer concerts, classes, events, and programs at multiple venues.

TOWNE SQUARE

(est. 1996) • 150 W. Palatine Road, Palatine

Development of an urban park in the historic downtown area of Palatine was a goal of both Palatine Park District and the Village of Palatine, so this lovely parcel of land was purchased in 1996. With grant assistance and a great deal of public support, the Downtown Park Site Development Committee was formed. The committee took on the responsibility of guiding the park’s future development. Working closely with Palatine Park District staff, this committee reviewed and revised plans and ideas for the park. Towne Square provides a beautiful space for recreational and festival activities including the Friday Family Picnic Series, Towne Square Spotlight Series, and the Village of Palatine’s annual Street Fest event.

a teaching career, and six years later he was admitted to the Illinois State Bar. He went on to become Master of Chancery of the Circuit Court of Cook County and was a member of the Cook County Board of Education for nine years. When the curtains first opened on the Cutting Hall stage on September 15, 1928, the theater’s appearance was similar to today. The crosswork of beams was hand decorated by Gustave Bandt, one of four artists in the world who did this specialized work and the stage curtain displayed the P.H.S. monogram on a purple and gold drape.

During the course of the year, the Park District utilizes Cutting Hall for performances by community theater groups, performing arts events for children, Palatine Concert Band, and Park District programs including theater, dance, Allegro Community Chorus, and Palatine Children’s Chorus. Cutting Hall offers residents an opportunity to share their talents and resources in the performing arts. The Park District is proud to offer this lively example of the rich arts heritage which is found in our area.

FRED P. HALL AMPHITHEATER

(est. 1988) • 256 E. Palatine Road, Palatine

CUTTING HALL

(est. 1928) • 150 E. Wood Street, Palatine

Cutting Hall Performing Arts Center is a unique facility owned and operated by Palatine Park District. In 1977, the Park District purchased the former Palatine High School’s Cutting Hall auditorium. The Park District’s intentions were to restore and preserve Cutting Hall so that area residents could enjoy and participate in amateur and professional programs in their own community. The 430-seat auditorium is named after the first principal of Palatine High School, Mr. Charles Cutting. He was born in Highgate Springs, Vermont, on March 1, 1854. He received his early education in Minnesota and graduated from Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. In 1874, he came to Palatine to pursue

Community Park Amphitheater opened in June 1988.

Since that time, appreciative audience members from all over the northwest suburbs have claimed a patch of grass with picnic baskets, blankets, and lawn chairs to enjoy a full series of Wednesday and Friday evening concerts.

In a few short years the Amphitheater quickly became an invaluable entertainment facility in our area. In April 2002 the Palatine Park District Board of Commissioners renamed the facility the Fred P. Hall Amphitheater in recognition of former Executive Director Fred P. Hall’s 31 years of dedicated service to the citizens of Palatine.

Since its grand opening, the Amphitheater stage has played host to a tremendous variety of artists and entertainment groups including such local favorites as American English, 7th Heaven, Palatine Concert Band, the Symphonic Pops Orchestra, Tom Chapin, and the Buckinghams. Because of its location in Palatine, the Fred P. Hall Amphitheater is the ideal spot for residents and neighbors to enjoy quality live entertainment.

Play in Palatine Parks Palatine Park District is responsible for 735 acres of open land in Palatine including 50 park and facility locations that are home to 30 playgrounds. The Parks Department inspects and maintains all of the playgrounds to ensure the District is offering safe places to play for the community. Two of the District’s staff members are Certified Playground Safety Inspectors through the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) and an additional three staff members are certified playground inspectors through the Park District Risk Management Agency. All of the playgrounds are part of an overall District-wide equipment replacement schedule. Based on inspections and equipment condition, playgrounds are usually replaced every 14–16 years.

PALATINE CHILDREN’S CHORUS

Main Stage Concert presented by Zeigler Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram of Schaumburg

What’s Your Way to Play?

Two playgrounds, Doug Lindberg Park & Dutch Schultz Recreation area, are being replaced in 2019 and are slated to be open by the end of July. Palatine Park District conducted two “What’s Your Way to Play” surveys in Spring 2019, allowing the community to vote on playground equipment choices including slides, overhead climbers, deck climbers, panels, spring riders, freestanding play options, and overall playground colors.

The elements chosen by the public were all incorporated into the final playground design at each park.

Play it Safe on the Playground Park district staff members work very hard to keep the playground equipment safe, but it is also the responsibility of parents and caregivers to help ensure a fun and safe play experience in the parks. The following tips are excellent reminders from Safekids.org:

Palatine Children's Chorus Summer Concert Choir, under the artistic direction of Stevee Bellas, and the Singin' in the Sun camp singers will present their annual summer concert. Please note that this concert will take place inside at Cutting Hall Performing Arts Center, 150 E. Wood Street, Palatine.

PALATINE YOUTH THEATRE: “CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, JR.”

• Actively supervise children on playgrounds.

• Check playgrounds where your children play. Look for hazards or equipment issues and report them.

• Teach children that pushing, shoving or crowding while on the playground can be dangerous.

• Dress appropriately for the playground. Remove necklaces, purses, scarves, or clothing with drawstrings that can get caught on equipment and pose a strangulation hazard.

• Helmets are always recommended for bike riding, but shouldn’t be worn on the playground because they can get stuck in the equipment.

• Little kids can play differently than big kids. Ensure that children use age-appropriate playground equipment.

• Beware of hot surfaces on equipment and on the ground.

• Always wear shoes on the playground.

If you have any questions about Palatine Park District playgrounds, or if you would like to report any issues you notice in our parks, call 847.705.5140 or submit District Feedback at palatineparks.org.

Take a fantastic musical adventure with an out-ofthis-world car that flies through the air and sails the seas.

You can make a lasting gift to the arts by participating in the Save Me a Seat program. A donation of $300 will name a seat on the main floor of the auditorium at Cutting Hall Performing Arts Center. A $150 donation will name a seat in the balcony. Recognition of your commitment to the arts offers a rare opportunity to provide for a lifetime of performances. By naming a seat, you can create a lasting tribute to honor a personal milestone, an anniversary, a loved one, a family member or friend, a new baby, a company or organization, or anything or anyone important to you.

A scholarship fund has been established in memory of Susannah Kist through Palatine Park Foundation.

This program assists Palatine Park District residents or groups who need financial assistance to participate in Palatine Park District cultural arts activities. Susannah Kist taught theater, music, and craft classes for Palatine Park District for 16 years. She lost her battle with breast cancer on December 4, 2009. Susannah wanted everyone to enjoy the arts right here in Palatine. Donations to the scholarship fund are accepted year-round, in any amount.

For more information on ways to give back to the Palatine community, visit palatineparks.org or palatineparkfoundation.org.
