The Elmhurst Centre for Performing Arts is bringing magic to downtown Elmhurst thanks to the support of the DuPage Foundation.
Jeanette Andrews presented her first magic performance at age 4, was paid for her first show at age 6, and that day began running her own business. She has never had another job since.
Hailing from Wheaton, Andrews is one of the most innovative illusionists in the world today. She has staged hundreds of standing-room-only performances for Fortune 500 companies such as Whole Foods, Kellogg’s, and McDonald’s as well other organizations including The Federal Reserve, the Soho House, and Johnson & Johnson. She has presented talks at MIT, Harvard Law School, Columbia, the Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt, to name a few.
Andrews uses sensory anomalies, art and scientific anecdotes to create luxurious experiences that bridge everyday life to a special, heightened world. She loves creating experiences that invite audiences to engage with the impossible in fun, insightful and generous ways. Illusion is Andrew’s life’s work and her performances have been praised by the Chicago Tribune, PBS, and the New York Times.
Jeanette is an artist-in-residence for High Concept Labs in Chicago and is a National Arts Club Fellow and an Alumnus Affiliate of metaLab Harvard.
“We are thrilled to bring an exciting evening to Elmhurst in Jeanette Andrews’ performance,” said Cheryl Peterson, ECPA Board Treasurer. “To showcase the performing arts in its many forms is a delight. We are grateful to the DuPage Foundation for their support in highlighting this nationally-recognized artist who developed their craft in DuPage County.”
