Reviewed By Allen21096 - Chicago, United States
As we were driving to the Elgin Academy and the Laura Davidson Sears Academy of Fine Arts at Academy Place, we realized that there were more than a few old, beautiful homes in the area. Parking seemed a bit tight and for the streets, a GPS might be necessary. The Sears Academy hosted a dance recital from my granddaughter's pre-school. It was well laid out for a small theatre. We enjoyed watching her, and I think she enjoyed being on the stage.
