"Rise and Shine" chronicles the struggles of a Des Plaines family during the Great Depression and their attempts to rise above their lot. Performed in the intimacy of the 1916 Fisher-Wright house, "Rise and Shine" invites the audience to experience a bit of local history as they watch the lives of the Lieber family unfold.

Supported by the City of Des Plaines, the Des Plaines Park District, and the Des Plaines Historical Society, the Des Plaines History Center consists of three facilities, the Visitor Center, the Kinder House, and the Fisher-Wright House.
