Echo Theater Collective will open its 2017 season with EchoHam: A Hamilton Fan Sing-Along, as part of its community events series, February 19, the day before President’s Day, at Outta Space in Berwyn, Illinois.
The event, organized by artistic director Maui Jones and artistic associate Anjali Karia, invites Hamilton fans to sing, rock out, and celebrate the hit musical written by Lin Manuel-Miranda.

The second will begin at 7 PM and is open to all. It will feature a cosplay contest and a raffle of Hamilton-themed items. Children under 13 should be accompanied by an adult.
