MAYOR EMANUEL ANNOUNCES $1 MILLION IN FOUNDATION SUPPORT AND NEW PROGRAMMING FOR THE 2019 YEAR OF CHICAGO THEATRE

First-of-its-kind in U.S., citywide initiative will shine a spotlight on Chicago’s

vibrant theatre scene

Mayor Rahm Emanuel along with the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) and the League of Chicago Theatres today announced $1 million in foundation support for the 2019 Year of Chicago Theatre. Grants received from BMO Harris Bank, Bayless Family Foundation, The Chicago Community Trust, Illinois Arts Council Agency, The Joyce Foundation, Lloyd A. Fry Foundation Endowment at Millennium Park Foundation, Millennium Park Foundation, Prince Charitable Trusts and Richard H. Driehaus Foundation. The funding will support inclusion and equity initiatives, additional grants to theatres, performances and special events for the public, and a marketing campaign that leverages a new brand for Chicago theatre. This citywide, year-long focus on theatre is the first of its kind in the U.S.

“The generous and enthusiastic support from Chicago’s civic, philanthropic, arts and business leaders is a ringing endorsement of our theatre community,” said Mayor Emanuel. “From world-renowned, Tony Award-winning stages to intimate storefront productions across the city, theater is essential to the cultural fabric of Chicago.”

Promotional and programming support for the Year of Chicago Theatre is provided by Art on theMART, Chicago Loop Alliance, Choose Chicago, HMS Media, Illinois Restaurant Association, LUMA8, The Magnificent Mile Association, Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority and others—plus many City departments and sister agencies including the Chicago Park District, Chicago Public Library, Chicago Public Schools, Chicago Transit Authority and Department of Aviation.

“To truly fall in love with Chicago, you must go to our theatres. This is where the city bares its fearless soul,” said DCASE Commissioner Mark Kelly. “Through Broadway musicals or storefront plays and improv, the energy of the city comes alive in our theatres. And with a diverse collection of more than 250 dynamic theatres throughout our neighborhoods, there’s always a seat waiting for you.”

With foundation support, DCASE and the League of Chicago Theatres will now provide more than $750,000 in financial grants to theatres – with an emphasis on sector building, increasing diversity and access, and expanding the geographic scope of Chicago theatre, especially on the city’s South and West sides. Application guidelines for microgrants will be available in late February. Applications for CityArts Program grants are open and due February 28.

“Chicago’s rich tradition of theatre is known world-wide. The City’s support of the theatre industry is a testament to its importance to the culture, economy and uniqueness of Chicago,” comments Deb Clapp, Executive Director of the League of Chicago Theatres. “During the Year of Chicago Theatres, we hope that every Chicagoan and visitor will see a show. In fact, we are in the midst of Chicago Theatre Week, which is the official kick-off to the Year of Chicago Theatre. With value-priced ticket to more than 100 productions, it is a great way to visit a favorite theatre—or to explore a new one.”

Millennium Park will activate Year of Chicago Theatre programming with family events, movies and pop-up performances. DCASE has partnered with 13 local theatre companies to co-present its Millennium Park Summer Film Series (Tuesdays, June – August): About Face Theatre, Aguijón Theater, Chicago Children’s Theatre, Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Court Theatre, eta Creative Arts, Free Street Theater, Goodman Theatre, Lookingglass Theatre Company, Rivendell Theatre Ensemble, Steppenwolf Theatre Company, Teatro Vista and Victory Gardens Theater. The full schedule including movie titles will be announced this spring. Also in Millennium Park this summer, DCASE will select up to 12 theatre companies for one-week residencies – during which theatres will produce free, site-specific performances for the public near Cloud Gate. Applications open in February.

Programming will also be supported at the Chicago Cultural Center and the nearby Expo 72 space with free performances, special events and exhibitions – including an installation by artist Paola Aguirre (February 11 – June 23), “Chicago! The Play, The Movies, The Musical...The Murders” and “goat island archive–we have discovered the performance by making it” (through June 23).

Choose Chicago is developing its largest-ever digital marketing campaign for theatre as well as hosting theatre-themed individual and group media tours throughout the year; and media promotional events in New York City, London, Toronto, Montreal, Paris, Munich, Mexico City, Sao Paulo, Beijing, Shanghai and Tokyo. DCASE and the League of Chicago Theatre have launched a local marketing campaign that includes digital billboards, street pole banners, advertising on CTA trains and busses, advertising at O’Hare and McCormick Place, promotion via neighborhood theatres and a redesigned ChicagoPlays.com website.

Foundation support is announced during Chicago Theatre Week, now in its seventh year. Presented by the League of Chicago Theatres in partnership with Choose Chicago, Chicago Theatre Week provides visitors and residents with the opportunity to choose from more than 100 productions and sample the extraordinary range of theatrical offerings in Chicago.  Tickets for Chicago Theatre Week (#CTW19) are all priced at $30, $15, or less, are available at ChicagoTheatreWeek.com.

Turi Ryder's 'She Said What' book is available for PRESALE from Tortoise Books!

 

She Said What? - PRESALE!

$20.00 presale price    

   

Radio. It's almost as easy as marriage and motherhood.

The excitement of a career on the air! Listeners asking for advice on dressing their girlfriends in leather bustiers; managers who believe every professional woman longs for a bouquet on Secretaries' Day; Saturday nights giving away free T-shirts and beer in country music bars; reporting on a day in the life of a dominatrix—all while juggling two kids, rescue dogs, and one cross-country move after another. Live the dream with Turi Ryder, a music jock and talk host on major-market stations from Chicago to Los Angeles, with stops in Minneapolis, Portland, and San Francisco along the way. This darkly comical, bitingly accurate, and lovingly fictionalized memoir will ring true for anyone who has longed for both a creative life and a family to come home to.

This item will ship on or about March 1, 2019

“It’s a great read! But I should probably say I hated it.” - Bill Handel, KFI Radio

“If Joan Rivers, David Sedaris, Terry Gross, and Howard Stern conspired together to defy the laws of reproductive science, their daughter would be Turi Ryder. She Said What? is Ryder’s debut tell-all, no-holds-barred memoir, and its colorful vignettes are loaded with characters from her long career in talk radio, featuring the likes of dominatrixes, rabbis, and lesbian waterborne Girl Scouts. Following Ryder on her journey from nomadic child to talk show host to periodically reluctant mother, I found myself laughing out loud, wincing as Ryder smashes through glass ceilings, and surprisingly nostalgic for a golden age of radio I didn’t know existed. Can a professional woman in the entertainment industry capture the elusive work-life balance? Will Ryder’s relationship with husband “Save the Planet” survive the unstable, creative world of talk radio? Find out in She Said What?” - Joshua Safran, author, Free Spirit: Growing Up On the Road, and Off the Grid

"Turi Ryder has a most unique voice that broke through the sound proof ceiling in radio where women were and still are few. She is passionate, brilliant, and very, very funny. She will force you to read this book just as she forced me to say nice things about her—but she deserves it all. " - Charles Randolph-Wright, Director, Motown the Musical

“If you think Nora Ephron is the ultimate in funny, you haven’t read Turi Ryder!  This rollicking expose of the radio industry is witty, dishy and delightful.  Anyone interested in how media treats female talent will come away enlightened—and concerned.  This is also a book for anyone who has managed clueless bosses and quirky co-workers, complex friendships and the love and demands of partners and family—in short, life itself.” - Beryl Satter, author, Family Properties: How the Struggle Over Race and Real Estate Transformed Chicago and Urban America

“A brilliant and hilarious book about the late great world of radio, written by a woman who knows it as well, if not better, than anyone who’s ever worked in it. Turi shows the truth of the work, and the frustration of the environment. Every single paragraph is packed with the humor we all needed to survive in it.” - Phil Hendrie, Satirist
