In the midst of all the anxious conversation sparked by “Outrageous Fortune” over the financial fate of American playwrights, one high-profile theatre has unveiled a new program geared toward providing tangible resources and benefits for writers. Arena Stage in Washington, DC announced the American Voices New Play Institute in June, which will essentially put five playwrights on salary as staff members of the theatre for three years. And it’s a safe bet that playwrights and theatres around the country will be watching this program closely as a possible harbinger of a new way of supporting new work—and the people who create it.

It’s an article of faith for many that Chicago theatre produces the best actors and artists. But what does it mean to be a Chicago theatre artist, when your physical address, at least part of the time, is in other cities?
