Excitement is escalating for the world premiere of acclaimed choreographer Bill T. Jones' "Fondly Do We Hope, Fervently Do We Pray" next week at Ravinia. The performances, on September 17th and 19th, mark the culmination of Ravinia's year-long celebration of Abraham Lincoln's Bicentennial. They also entail a busy week for Kartemquin's filmmakers, who after months of recording the rehearsals and creative process will finally be capturing this momentous event for next year's film A Good Man.
