Hello Theatre Family,


The taste of SPRING is the air! 🌱🌞🌈 We are finally over our colds and the sun is invigorating a desire to get outside and get active. The League has the perfect line up for you to get outside and get involved this season.


It’s our birthday this month we are celebrating 46 years of promoting, supporting and advocating for theatre! To make sure that this work continues, you can show your love during our League Birthday Blitz by making a donation of $46, $460, $4,600 $46,000, $460,000, or $4,600,000. Every dollar of support allows us to keep our programs going like Chicago Theatre Week, Hot Tix, the Career Fair, our jobs and auditions board, and so much more.


We are continuing our tradition of giving back for our birthday through our annual Drop & Swap Tool Drive taking place on April 11 from 10am-4pm. Speaking of giving, our Community Empowerment Series should not be missed either as we are bringing Chicago Funders to the table, one of the highest requested sessions of the year, to hear straight from the Chicago funding community about their programs, parameters and changes. We will be at Jane Addams Hull House on April 21 from 5-8pm for this event.


We are gearing up for our third annual Career Fair next month and we need your help in tabling, panel discussions, resume reviews and mock interviews. Expanding to two days this year with focuses on administration and performance will be a record breaking year with an opportunity to support industry members interested in every aspect of our field. Sign up to participate in the fair today! Don’t forget Hot Tix is launching the Hot Tix Deal Hunt in mid-April with a $5 discount for spring!


Finally, we are finishing the month in Springfield to put advocacy into action alongside Arts Alliance Illinois to talk to our legislators about the importance of the arts. We must make our voices heard and stand up for our rights as creatives. The League is Springing into Action! We hope you join us.

The League of Chicago Theatres is turning 46 years old in April!


Starting next week, we’re thrilled to celebrate our 46th birthday as we usher in another year of service, artistry, and collaboration. Keep an eye on our socials all week for information on how you can celebrate with us, including donating to our 24-hour Birthday Blitz and using the hashtag #ILoveLOCT46 on your social platforms to share why YOU love the League.

Only a few spots remain for our Community Empowerment Series: Meet the Funders!


Don't miss out on a panel discussion with Chicago funders who will share insight on how arts organizations can access funding and support. The Jane Addams Hull-House Museum exhibitions will also be available to explore before the panel discussion. Learn more and RSVP here
