Beginning their calendar-year season in January 2011, Noble Fool will become Fox Valley Repertory; a name that represents the community they have grown their mission, vision, patron base, and academy students around. Their expanding vision includes a planned three-week Summer Arts Festival to be held each summer starting in 2011, which will give local artists and fellow arts organizations the opportunity to perform in several different venues in St. Charles. This will also include the area’s first New Works Project, where a nationwide search will take place to premier staged readings.
