AND HIS VISION OF “BELOVED COMMUNITY” Featuring Celebrated Soloists and Hundreds of Musicians and Choir Singers, Too Hot Unites People from All Across the City Under One Roof to Sing, Dance, and Clap Along to This Reimagined Messiah Too Hot to Handel: The Jazz-Gospel Messiah on January 19 and 20, 2019 (CHICAGO, IL) For the 14th consecutive year, the Auditorium Theatre proudly presents Too Hot to Handel: The Jazz-Gospel Messiah over Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend. Celebrating Dr. King’s vision of “beloved community” – a world without poverty, bigotry, and violence – Too Hot is a true Chicago show that unites people from all across the city as they sing, dance, and clap along with the performers. Featuring celebrated soloists Rodrick Dixon (tenor), Alfreda Burke (soprano), and Karen Marie Richardson (alto), Too Hot puts a spin on George Frideric Handel’s classic Messiah by arranging the traditional oratorio into a jazz, gospel, blues, and rock experience. The soloists are joined by legendary Detroit pianist Alvin Waddles, a choir of over 100 members led by Bill Fraher (director of concert choirs at Old St. Patrick’s Church in Chicago), and a chamber orchestra and jazz band conducted by Michigan Opera Theatre assistant music director Suzanne Mallare Acton.

The Theatre File collection has international holdings but the primary focus is on United States theatres. Background Information The Theatre Historical Society of America was founded in 1969 to promote the legacy of America’s historic theatres and insure the documentation of the architectural, cultural and social history of those theatres. Materials were collected by members and kept in separate locations. Over time the collections were brought to one location and combined. From these initial collections the materials were organized and separated into several different collections. Records detailing histories of specific theatres were labeled the Theatre File, materials containing information on theatre mechanics, cinema chains, architects, THS members, vaudeville circuits, among other topics became the Subject Files, Photos that were used in the publication of Marquee were gathered into the Editors Collection, photographic slides, postcards, and negatives became the THS Slide Collection, THS Postcard Collection, and THS Negative Collection respectively. These collections came from THS members and donations made throughout the organization’s history. Scope and Contents Note The Theatre File collection consists of 148 linear feet of folders stored in 28 vertical filing cabinets.

The findings—the sector’s annual impact of $2.25 billion—have changed the way we are able to talk, fundraise, and advocate for the arts. I am thrilled to see the release of this new version of the report, featuring clarified and visualized explanations of our data. As Chicago Loop Alliance’s immediate past board chair, I am so proud of this project. It is the duty of a downtown management organization like ours to bring people together and share information across sectors. Because Chicago Loop Alliance undertook this report, the results were shared not only with those in the arts community, but with those in real estate, retail, education, hospitality, and beyond. In my role as Chief Development Officer for the Auditorium Theatre, I have used the Arts in the Loop report to secure important corporate sponsorships and augment grant applications, providing crucial numbers and evidencing the economic impact of the arts. In roles like mine, it is important to be able to talk hard numbers and actual impact.
