Its premise is that Chicago is a global city that benefits from interaction between its citizens and organizations and their counterparts outside of the United States. This program was renewed in 2009 and the original fund of $1 million was extended with an additional $500,000. AT a GLANCe • The Chicago International Connections Fund was established in January 2008 at the MacArthur Foundation’s 30th Anniversary Celebration. • The fund recognizes Chicago’s place as a global city that benefits from the interactions between its citizens and their counterparts outside of the United States. • The purpose of the fund was to help eligible Chicago-based nonprofit organizations further their work by making connections with organizations and individuals internationally. • Between June 2008 and September 2009, the Foundation awarded 39 grants to 35 organizations. • More than half of the grant recipients were arts and culture organizations, a quarter were community development organizations, and the remainder a mix of groups focused on juvenile justice, conservation, human rights, and reproductive health issues. • Almost 40 countries were touched by exchanges with 450 Chicagoans traveling abroad and 160 representatives from international organizations welcomed to Chicago.

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.
