Where do they get this stuff?
So, Travel and Leisure (deliberately not linked), has named Chicago the number 3 destination for theatre among tourists (number four among residents, but I have no clue what that means). Behind New York, OK, I don’t agree but, behind that mecca of theatre, Providence, Rhode Island. Really?? Providence, Rhode Island?? If it wasn’t so ridiculous I’d be mad. I’m sure they make some mighty fine theatre there, but I’ve only ever even heard of one theatre in Providence. I’ve been working in this business a long time and I don’t know one single person working in theatre in Providence, like I do in New York, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Miami, Sarasota, Florida, New Haven, Connecticut for crying out loud. I guess it’s just a lesson for us to not take this stuff too seriously because we have no idea how it is decided and who gets to vote or whatever. But arrrghh.

Wanna Blog?
Last week we launched our first blog post from a guest writer on ChicagoPlays.com. In case you missed it, check out the blog from Bilal Dardai "A Note to the Audience (Allegedly Invisible)". We've already been in touch with a handful of other people and new writers will be featured every Friday on the website, so be sure to follow each week. We’re really excited about all the great new content this will add to the site. We are still looking for more bloggers, so if you are interested in writing something email jess@chicagoplays.com. This blog is for the theatre fan and patron, so posts should be aimed at that audience. Possible topics could be writing about favorite theatrical experiences, what it means for you to run a theatre, why theatre is important to you, etc...It can be funny or it can be serious. We're open to ideas if you have something you'd like to write about. So if you are interested or curious to try it, let us know!

Did You Vote?
Did you vote? I love to vote. It gives me the privilege of complaining, especially in local elections. OK, so we have a republican senator, according to Americans for the Arts, he is an “arts champion,” he is a member of the Congressional Arts Caucus which attempts to “secure adequate funding for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and the Institute for Museums and Library Services (IMLS).” I saw that they have called the Governor’s race and it is Quinn. OK, even if the budget for the Illinois Arts Council has been slashed, he shows up everywhere and clearly supports our work.
I encourage all of you to write to your newly elected representatives and congratulate them and remind them of how important their support of the arts is to you and your organization and the communities you serve. Let them know that you can serve as a resource on the arts should they have need of one. Do it!
Mayor and Aldermen get elected next. Should be fun.
