Congress Parkway. Featured guest artists for this extraordinary performance will include student musicians from Cuba’s national conservatory of the arts. Tickets are $29 - $68 and are available at AuditoriumTheatre.org, by calling (312) 341-2300 or in-person at the Auditorium Theatre’s Box Office, 50 E. Congress Parkway. Subscriptions for the Auditorium Theatre’s 2015 - 2016 season and discounted tickets for groups of 10 or more are also available.

This United States premiere, featuring musicians from Cuba, is another historic moment to celebrate,” said Executive Director Brett Batterson. “Orbert and the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic were witnesses to the earliest days of our country’s new relationship with Cuba and will bring those emotions, as well as the rich history of Cuba’s music, to the Auditorium for an extraordinary performance.” In December 2014, Davis and Chicago Jazz Philharmonic musicians conducted a weeklong residency at Universidad de las Artes (ISA), Cuba’s national conservatory of music in Havana, culminating in the debut of this new work at the Havana International Jazz Festival.

In addition to our traditional programming, for the first time we also piloted a high school outreach program to share our message with the next generation. We plan to continue outreach programs like this in future years. The season kicked off in September 2016 with ourThe Great Gaymerican Songbook cabaret performance at Mayslake Peabody Estate in Oak Brook and the Uptown Underground on the north side of the city. Our holiday show Home for the Holidivas in December 2016 brought us to the Harris Theater, the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie, and the Beverly Art Center. Lipsticks & Lyrics: The Dragtones, our live singing drag show in February 2017, featured several iconic girl groups, to the delight of our audience in four shows at Uptown Underground. Finally, our spring show *B-Town: From Barbershop to Boybands in May 2017 brought us back to rock the Harris Theater, North Shore Center for the Performing Arts, and the Beverly Arts Center.

    STATEMENT of PRINCIPLE No One Should Be Forced to Choose

    STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLE No one should be forced to choose between her personal safety and dignity, and her job. But too often in the theater community this is exactly the choice that women must make. Sexual discrimination and harassment and gender-based violence often occur in the intimate and physical context of a theater production. Victims of such conduct face a stark choice between continuing to work in close collaboration with their abuser and quitting the show. Few can afford to give up a job and lose not only income, but also the opportunity for career advancement. There is a sense in the community that it is not necessarily in a victim’s best interest to report abuse because of fear that the response will be insufficient and open her up to retribution. In addition, many instances of abuse happen outside of the physical boundaries of a theater. No theater, union or guild currently takes responsible for handling such cases. However, the two people involved will most likely have to work together the next day or in another production, and the victims are left to deal with the aftermath by themselves. In the face of these realities, victims often choose silence and the abuse is allowed to continue. It is time for the theater community to break its own silence on harassment and abuse and formally address the problem. The reality is that those who behave abusively are generally in positions of power. Artistic directors hold the power to employ, playwrights have hiring approval; removing a director mid-rehearsal puts an entire production in doubt; losing a celebrity from the cast hurts ticket sales.
