In Chicago alone, closed or moribund theaters include Victory Gardens Theater, House Theatre of Chicago, Sideshow Theatre Company, BoHo, Eclipse Theatre Company and Underscore Theatre Company. Other large companies have greatly reduced programming as audiences have not shown up in numbers that once could be expected.
Lookingglass, which recently hosted a fundraiser led by Stephen Colbert, a longtime supporter, plans to use a previously obtained construction grant from the State of Illinois to improve its Michigan Avenue space while its productions are on hold. The current show,is slated to run through July 16. In addition, educational programming, most of which is grant funded, will continue.
