End of Summer Festivities Print E-mail

If you’re looking to mix it up this weekend, head over to Theater Wit for the first Chicago Theatre (Anti) Conference, designed in part as a response to June’s TCG conference in Chicago, and in part as a return to the old days of League of Chicago Theatres ’ annual retreat. A host of speakers and panelists from companies large (Martha Lavey of Steppenwolf Theatre , Roche Schulfer of Goodman Theatre ), and small (Don Hall of WNEP ) will hold forth on the challenges and controversies swirling around our two-fisted community of theatermakers. I’ll be on a panel on Saturday at 10 a.m., moderated by Tony Adams of Halcyon Theatre , on theatre festivals. The entire shindig costs $32, including lunch and dinner. More info online or at 773/975-8150.

If you still haven’t seen David Cromer’s transcendent production of Our Town, which started out with The Hypocrites over two years ago and has been running at New York’s Barrow Street Theatre since February of 2009 (making it the longest-running production of Thornton Wilder’s play in history), you’ve got until September 12 to hop a plane. Cromer will return to the role of the Stage Manager for the final weeks of the run.

Columbia College Invades Emmys Print E-mail

It’s the dog days, and some of us (and by “us,” I mean “me”) are starting to slack just the teensiest bit. We’re also anxiously awaiting the start of Season Four of “Mad Men” this Sunday. Fortunately, not everyone who comes out of Chicago in general and Columbia College Chicago in particular is as easily swayed from a work ethic, though they too have an appreciation for quality television work. CCC alum nabbed seven nominations for the primetime Emmys, including two for Andy Richter’s work on The Tonight Show during its brief sojourn in the hands of Conan O’Brien. Len Amato, CCC class of 1975 and president of HBO Films, is sitting on top of 35 total Emmy nominations for his company (though, in our view, shamefully few of those recognize Treme).

If you’d like to take a break from the Big Blue Guilt-Mongering Hand of Chase Community Giving, there are other worthy arts-related causes. (Though of course we don’t play favorites and hope that many small Chicago companies get a chance to get their mitts on some of that corporate lucre—and then turn around and do some scathing Brechtian pieces on the evils of Big Banks, because why not?)

Comings and Goings in Chicago Theatre Print E-mail

You might still be recovering from the Theatre Communications Group conference last weekend, which gave Chicago theatre artists a chance to establish bragging rights, er, build community with theatres around the country.

Not so much Chicago love at the Tonys this year as in years past, but John Logan, who got his start in playwriting here in the 1980s and is still a member of the Victory Gardens playwrights’ ensemble, took home the prize for best play for Red, his piece about Mark Rothko and the price of artistic integrity. (Kinda ironic, given all the star-humping that was going on at Radio City Music Hall during the awards.)
