Action Items
I want to encourage all of you to please fill out the fiscal survey that is posted in the broadcast. Some of you have filled out the TCG survey and that is much appreciated, but this gives us a better snapshot of where we are as a community. You may recall that we did the same last year and the results were used in a lot of different ways. I have had several requests from funders and the media for the survey this year. It is really helpful and it doesn’t take long at all to fill out. We are looking to get 100% participation so fill it out, please.
Also, I want to ask you to do a flash performance or a performance at the late night party for the TCG conference. We expect these performances to be what truly sets the Chicago conference off from other cities. It doesn’t matter how big or small your company is, you can come up with something that is going to be great, that’s why this idea, which was not mine, is so good. So…send us a proposal.

University of Chicago Seeking Theaters for Summer Inc Program
University Theater at University of Chicago is looking for theatre, dance or other artist companies/groups to apply for their Summer Inc program. The Summer Inc program began out of a desire to extend University Theater's nurturing environment to Chicago's professional performance community. This program is free for any new or established theatre company or organization looking to develop a new work or existing piece that needs more time to mature. The 2 week program provides an artistic home for the organization to use the various theater spaces the University Theatre offers as well as various technical, administration and student assistance as needed. The companies that get selected recognize the importance of hospitality when basic expenses make the creation of new work more of a conceptual wish than a pragmatic reality, UC Summer Inc. invites six companies into our artistic home. If you are interested in Summer Inc and want more information or would like to apply visit http://ut.uchicago.edu/collaboration/summerinc.shtml
The dates for Summer Inc 2010 are the following:

Now Accepting TCG Conference Late Night Party and Flash Performance Proposals
The League of Chicago Theatres is hosting the 2010 TCG Conference in Chicago this June. A diverse selection of theatre companies are sought to represent the breadth and richness of Chicago theatre by creating performances that will be showcased throughout the conference in Flash Performances and at the Late-Night Party. A Flash Performance is a performance that erupts from thin air, engages an audience of 5 to 100, and then quickly disappears. Flash performances will be artfully coordinated to occur in unsuspected places (streets, hallways, el stations) several times a day throughout the conference in order to provide the attendees with a taste of Chicago theatre. A Late-Night Party performance will enhance a party atmosphere, and might include installations, amusements and performances of all kinds. The event itself will be a “carnival” style party featuring light snacks, drinks, music and multi-disciplinary performances- offering conference-goers an opportunity to unwind and let loose after a long day of workshops and networking. The goal is to give the attendees from across the country a sense of the artistry, collaboration and surprise that is Chicago theatre.
The conference will take place June 17-19, 2010. The Late-Night Party will take place on Friday, June 18, 2010. A small panel of theatre artists will select a diverse range of companies to perform. All Chicago area theater companies are invited and encouraged to apply. Please submit your proposal and supporting documents for consideration by the panel to Ben Thiem at ben@chicagoplays.com. The deadline for submitting proposals is Friday, March 5.
