The evening will culminate with a special performance by Michael Ingersoll, former co-star of the Tony Award-winning musical Jersey Boys, and his wife, Angela Ingersoll, a Jeff-nominated actress and singer.
"For the first time ever, guests at the Glass House Gala will experience the transformation of the Conservatory's Showroom into an elegant dinning and entertainment space," said Susan Fargo, Vice President of the Lincoln Park Conservancy.
"Couple that with a concert by Michael Ingersoll and his wife Angela, and we truly have a first-class fundraiser that is unique to Chicago."
Seating is limited with individual tickets priced at $250. A select-table for six guests can also be purchased for $1,800. Early ticket purchases will receive better seating.
In addition, there are VIP tables available for $3,000, which includes Ingersoll as your table's companion during one course of the dinner. Guests will hear behind-the-scenes stories from his television appearances on Oprah, The Emmys, A Capitol Fourth, and as a co-star in the Jersey Boys Chicago cast.

About the Lincoln Park Conservatory
The Lincoln Park Conservatory, owned and operated by the Chicago Park District, was designed by nationally renowned architect of the Victorian era, Joseph Lyman Silsbee in collaboration with architect M.E. Bell. Built in phases between 1890 and 1895, the Conservatory was designed both to showcase exotic plants and to grow the thousands of plants needed for use in the parks, which it still does today.
