Chicago has been a leader of independently produced theater for quite some time. The Department of Cultural Affairs has helped build that reputation with Block 37. For the last few years, they’ve also been utilizing unique settings to create memorable performances. The In the Works series takes place on the Pritzker Pavilion stage from November through April. Yes, it is quite chilly outside but the entire production and audience in on stage, in a climate controlled setting. This theater lab series allows local companies to showcase productions that aren’t quite done in a place that’s not quite common.

The direction team has been distributing promotional materials for this theater series on our theater route.

The In the Works series continues on January 12 with a production from TUTA Theatre Chicago. For more information about this Chicago Deptartment of Cultural Affairs series, please visit explorechicago.org.

If you’re not familiar with the incredible artistry and athletic ability that is modern dance, the Joffrey Ballet is making it easy for you to fully embrace this art form. The company is in the midst of the Chicago Dancing Festival. It wraps this Saturday with a free performance open to the public. Mayor Emanuel approved, this evening is perfect for anyone looking for a night on the town on the gorgeous lake front.

The direction team will be distributing Joffrey Ballet fans this Saturday evening to concertgoers at the Chicago Dancing Festival in Millennium Park. We’re thrilled to be working with the Joffrey for the first time and looking forward to future promotions with this prestigious institution.

The final night of the Chicago Dancing Festival is this Saturday evening at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park. The performance begins at 7:30pm and no ticket is required. For more information about the festival and the Joffrey Ballet, please visit chicagodancingfestival.com.

This year, the Chicago Dancing Festival descends upon the Harris Theatre, MCA, and Millennium Park in August.  Programs include New Voices, Modern Masters, Workshops, Celebration of American Dance.  This week, we are doing a massive poster distribution throughout the city to gear up for all of these exciting events.  We’ve concentrated our efforts on the south and west sides of Chicago, so keep an eye out for four different posters of the festival.  It’s only here for a week, so be sure to check it out!
