Jazz, by its definition, is all about taking risks and trying something new. For over twenty years, that’s what we have done with Jean’s Jazz – bringing different forms of jazz music to RTG’s stage. In 2001, Joe Mooney created the Jean’s Jazz Series in memory of his wife, Jean, who passed away from ovarian cancer. Since then, over 22,000 people have attended our, concerts, grossing over $125,000 to benefit the Racine Theatre Guild. Jean’s love of the Guild and her love of Jazz inspired a series that has truly enriched our community.
