Year of Chicago Theatre
Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events and the League of Chicago Theatres have designated 2019 as the "Year of Chicago Theatre." This citywide, year-long focus on theatre is the first of its kind in the U.S. The initiative will include theatre performances and special events for the public at hundreds of cultural venues, theaters, parks and neighborhood locations throughout the city. The City of Chicago and its partners will also launch a marketing campaign that leverages a new brand for Chicago theatre; provide additional financial grants to theatre projects; encourage dialog around inclusion and equity; and call on civic, philanthropic, arts and business leaders to support the theatre community.
