  • 1986 Chicago Cultural Plan
    The Chicago Cultural Plan is funded by agrant from the Chicago Community Trust with additional fimding from the National Endowment for the Arts. ATR BUTE TO CH CAGO CULTURE Over 150 years, Chicago has evolved from a small prairie city to a dynamic cultural center of international status. Therefore, it is fitting that we celebrate Chicago's Sesquicentennial by presenting the city with its first comprehensive, cohesive strategy for nurturing our artistic and cultural resources. Chicago is alive with culture. Every corner of the city is literally bursting with cultural and artistic activity - with neighborhood dance troupes and community theater, jazz and blues musicians and symphony orchestras, sculptors, painters and writers - all contributing to the great excitement and ethnic diversity that makes Chicago so remarkable. But culture is a precious resource that requires careful attention. It is an integral part of Chicago's spirit and an underpinning of Chicago's economic well-being. Yet this city has never before developed a long-range, coordinated plan for culture and the arts. Now, thanks to the work of so many dedicated Chicagoans, we have one. f commend the diligence and vision of those who pursued the development of the plan, in particular Commissioner Fred Fine, Advisory Board Chair Jessie Woods, Planning Committee Chair Robert Hutchins and Director of the Plan Michael C. Dorl. f especially salute the thousands of Chicagoans and hundreds of organizations that contributed their time and ideas to the development of this plan. With the Chicago Cultural Plan, we pay tribute to the cultural greatness of Chicago and pledge to enhance and showcase that greatness for generations to come.

Hopkins What am I doing here and what is going to happen to me? It is the question of the archetypal Everyman, no matter the gender, in our disconnected American culture. TUTA Theatre Chicago crafts a beautiful collection of answers to these questions. Fulton Street Sessions is an assemblage of sketch and song; a fresh and sometimes disconcerting take on how we communicate and try to make sense of this often insane world. The play starts with a birth of sorts. Trey Maclin stands alone under harsh florescent lights. Some ideologies would call his character a soul about to be born and, indeed, he is given a literal baptism in an Absurdist sketch on following protocol. The rest of the ensemble appears in parkas and carrying what he will need to participate in their society. No words are spoken and yet hilarity ensues.
