Fall Series 2014

A letter from Glenn Edgerton, Artistic Director To those of you here as fans of The Second City, we’re delighted to have you with us and hope you stick around for what we have lined up for the rest of our 2014–15 programs. Whether you’re a longtime subscriber or seeing the company for the first time, welcome to Season 37 at Hubbard Street.

From bringing dance into classrooms every single day the Chicago Public Schools are in session, to offering movement guidance to people with Parkinson’s and other physical disabilities, we generate a wide range of activity at Hubbard Street. This weekend at the Harris Theater expresses our dedication to two more objectives central to our mission: artistic creation and collaboration.

Throughout the last decade, our local partners have included the Art Institute of Chicago, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago — where we return in December for a program highlighting three unique choreographers, Princess Grace Awards: New Works. Last year, we toured with Alonzo King LINES Ballet, our first foray into shared programming, and one of our most successful engagements ever. This season alone, between the main company and Hubbard Street 2, we’ll present nine world premieres. On December 16 here at the Harris Theater, we’ll celebrate 15 years of our International Commissioning Project, which has produced 40 original works by dancemakers from around the globe.

There are many reasons why I’m grateful for our audiences but, above all, I am encouraged and inspired by the fact that you are willing to embark with us on new adventures and chart unexplored creative territories. There is comfort and security in the tried and true, but that has never been the case at Hubbard Street. Our ambition has always been to explore what’s now and what’s next.

The Second City shares with us this sense of adventure, and that’s what made this particular collaboration so inspiring. Over nearly a year of planning, choreographing, writing and rehearsing, we have pushed each other beyond our norms. We have all grown through this process, both as artists and as people. That’s why I am particularly excited to share the results in tonight’s performance, and why it’s important to me that we offer what we’ve learned together to the next generation.

On November 2, the third event in our new Hubbard Street Studio Series will be a special workshop based on techniques developed through this collaboration, with company dancer-turned-artistic associate Meredith Dincolo, and ensemble member Carisa Barreca. I encourage you to read more about the Studio Series and register online at hubbardstreetdance.com/studioseries.

Now, sit back and enjoy the beauty when laughter meets dance.

Warmly,

Glenn Edgerton Artistic Director Hubbard Street Dance Chicago

Roundtable Discussion Between Hubbard Street + The Second City One month before opening night, eight collaborators on this project met between rehearsals at the Hubbard Street Dance Center. What follows is a partial transcript of their conversation.

HOW DID THIS PROJECT BEGIN? KELLY LEONARD This project started with a phone call that I made, after a project we’d done with the Lyric Opera of Chicago that was very successful, as a collaboration between two very different artistic entities. When Nate [DuFort, producer] and I and our team got together to ask, “What’s next?” immediately the answer was “Dance.” We then asked, “But who?” and again, immediately, everyone said “Hubbard Street.” So I called over and talked to Jason Palmquist and Glenn Edgerton.

They both said, “Were your ears burning? Because we were just talking about The Second City.”

GLENN EDGERTON It’s true. Jason came into my office and said, “The Second City just called. Let’s do something with them.” It was an immediate synthesis.

KL What I didn’t know — because I didn’t know much about contemporary dance at all — is how improvisational it is, how it’s in the DNA of their work, too. So we met at an incredible place.

KRISTEN BROGDON What’s been unique about this collaboration, compared to how you usually work at The Second City?

BILLY BUNGEROTH I saw Hubbard Street for the first time performing One Thousand Pieces [by Alejandro Cerrudo] and loved it. I immediately wanted to get across the weight of your work, not just approach it as, “Alright, let’s think up a bunch of jokes about dancing.” Our audiences deserved more than that from us.

12

Fall Series 2014

TIM MASON I saw it, too, and I thought, “Man, the last thing that I want to do is take the piss out of this.”

I looked at One Thousand Pieces and thought, “Wow: There’s a whole different way of talking here.”

NATE DuFORT The first time we were in the studio, to watch Robyn Mineko Williams choreograph, I was amazed at how she could grab just a single motion, pull it out, ask the dancers to manipulate it, turn it into something else — without saying a single word to them — then plug the new version of that single moment back into the rest of the dance. That mapped exactly to how we work, too, but outside of language.

JULIE NICHOLS I expected to walk into something that felt like a ballet class, that matched the music beat-for-beat, like, “One, two, three, four, pas de bourrée, pirouette!” So it was surprising to learn how the dancers actually worked, how often they create movement with no music and describe choreography through exaggerated gestures and sound effects like, “Whoosh!” It was so much looser and more felt than I anticipated, and the dancers are so sensitive. They connect so instantly with musical ideas which, in retrospect, it’s like, “Oh, of course.” That ended up being huge in terms of how we were able to connect creatively with one another.

HOW HAS HUBBARD STREET RESPONDED TO WORKING WITH TEXT? TERENCE MARLING For us choreographers, the whole notion of working from a script is somewhat new, and it’s helped a lot in terms of knowing where a scene is headed and what effect we’re going for.

TM On the flip side, Alejandro [Cerrudo] said, “Oh, I never count,” and I said, “Excuse me?”

[Laughs] Going into this project, I’d had this fear that I’d always have to be counting everything and was stressing out about it. So that was a relief.

BB As far as giving the dancers a “voice,” it’s really been no different from giving voice within the kind of social satire we do at The Second City, in which a character might be a plumber or a politician or whatever. It’s still that challenge of finding what it is about a specific character that’s both ridiculous and relatable at the same time.

HOW DID YOU CAST THE ACTORS FOR THIS PRODUCTION? KL Tim [Mason] always did excellent work, and he was always a little restless about form. He wanted to explore boundaries and is just a curious person by nature; a lot of the work he’s done since leaving The Second City has been physical in nature, and while he might not be particularly well-known as a dancer…

TM Yeah, no. [Laughs] KL …he’s shown he isn’t afraid to look a little foolish. So we of course wanted to call Tim. BB And Carisa Barreca has a dance background but, really, it’s just been a question of, “Who are the best people we can get for this project?” That’s really what I want, and people who can work well together as an ensemble.

KB Nate, this connects with what you’ve been telling me about watching the design and production team come together.

ND Absolutely. It was great to walk into a meeting with [Set Designer] Martin Andrew, for example, who’s so willing to speak our language but at the same time, be so reactive. I’d say one word and three or four ideas would come out.

THERE’S A LOT TO LOVE ABOUT THE SECOND CITY MAINSTAGE BUT ONE THING IT ISN’T IS BIG. WHAT’S IT BEEN LIKE CREATING A PREMIERE FOR THE HARRIS THEATER? JN We’re like kids in a candy shop. There’s so much depth, so much height.

TM We were talking the other day and T.J. [Jagodowski] said, “Hey Billy: How’s it feel to be directing the Opening Ceremonies for the Olympics?” [Laughs] KL We couldn’t do it without Hubbard Street and that’s what’s so exciting about it. We’re so out of our comfort zone but you have to be. There aren’t a lot of surprises left once you’ve been around for 55 years. This is a really valuable chance for us to be surprised, to be challenged, and to be scared.

HOW HAVE YOU ALL BEEN KEEPING UP WITH SUCH A LARGE CREATIVE TEAM? BB I love the work that came out of Andy Warhol’s Factory, both artistically and musically, in the ’60s. I’m also a big fan of the White Album, that period when the Beatles had so much creativity they were recording in multiple studios at Abbey Road. The people I’m working with here are all brilliant professionals who don’t need me to middle-manage them. They all know where we’re headed, so if they’re on to something, I can walk away to see what’s happening elsewhere. A lot of this production got made in four different studios at the same time.

GE And then, at the end of the day, we connect to talk about what went on in those rehearsals, what we’re keeping, what needs to be worked on, what needs to be reassessed… I’m proud that Hubbard Street can do a project like this, that we’re open enough, willing enough, and have a company ready to embrace a project like this. We could’ve gotten Kelly’s call and said, “Mmm… That’s not what we do.”

KL This is also, quintessentially, a Chicago thing. This doesn’t happen elsewhere. There’s an aspect of civic pride in collaboration and, also, Chicago is “The City That Works.” This is work, we like doing work and we’re proud of our work. It’s been fun, it’s been enlightening — and it doesn’t end here.

Our hope is that we’ve started a conversation that can continue. We hope other people find new and interesting ways to mash up and collaborate.

PROFILES HUBBARD STREET STAFF Glenn Edgerton (Artistic Director) joined Hubbard Street Dance Chicago after an international career as a dancer and director. At the Joffrey Ballet, he performed leading roles, contemporary and classical, for 11 years under the mentorship of Robert Joffrey. In 1989, Edgerton joined the acclaimed Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT), where he danced for five years. He retired from performing to become its artistic director, leading NDT 1 for a decade and presenting the works of Jiří Kylián, Hans van Manen, William Forsythe, Ohad Naharin, Mats Ek, Nacho Duato, Jorma Elo, Johan Inger, Paul Lightfoot and Sol León, among others. From 2006 to 2008, he directed the Colburn Dance Institute at the Colburn School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles. Edgerton joined Hubbard Street as associate artistic director in 2008; since 2009 as artistic director, he has built upon more than three decades of leadership in dance performance, education and appreciation established by founder Lou Conte and continued by Conte’s successor, Jim Vincent.

Jason D. Palmquist (Executive Director) joined Hubbard Street Dance Chicago in May 2007, after serving the arts community in Washington, D.C. for nearly 15 years. Palmquist began his career at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, completing his tenure there as vice president of dance administration. At the Kennedy Center, he oversaw multiple world-premiere engagements of commissioned works in dance, the formation and growth of the Suzanne Farrell Ballet and the inception in 1997 of the Millennium Stage, an award-winning, free daily performance series that to date has served more than three million patrons. Deeply enriching the Kennedy Center’s artistic programming, Palmquist successfully presented engagements of global dance companies including the Royal Ballet, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, the Kirov Ballet, Paul Taylor Dance Company, American Ballet Theatre and New York City Ballet. Palmquist also managed the Kennedy Center’s television initiatives, including the creation of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and a prime-time special on NBC memorializing the first anniversary of the September 11 attacks. In 2004, he accepted the position of executive director at the Washington Ballet. Under his leadership, the company presented full performance seasons annually at the Kennedy Center and the Warner Theater, and nurtured its world-renowned school and extensive education and outreach programs. A graduate of the University of Northern Iowa, Palmquist currently serves on the boards of the Arts Alliance of Illinois and the Harris Theater for Music and Dance.

Kristen Brogdon (General Manager) joined Hubbard Street Dance Chicago in July 2007, after nine years at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., where she first worked with Hubbard Street Executive Director Jason Palmquist. During her tenure at the Kennedy Center, Brogdon was responsible for programming the facility’s unparalleled ballet and contemporary dance season. She managed the Suzanne Farrell Ballet from its inception in September 2001 and was instrumental in the creation and growth of the Metro D.C. Dance Awards. Brogdon also created and produced a commissioning program for local choreographers, facilitating work by 20 artists from D.C., Maryland and Virginia. Prior to the Kennedy Center, she was the company manager and publicist for Li Chiao-Ping Dance, a modern dance company based in Madison, Wisconsin. Brogdon holds a Master of Arts in Business with a concentration in Arts Administration from the University of Wisconsin and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Duke University.

Claire Bataille (Director, Lou Conte Dance Studio) was a founding dancer with Hubbard Street from 1977 to 1992, performing works created by Lou Conte, Twyla Tharp, Lynne Taylor-Corbett, Daniel Ezralow, John McFall and Margo Sappington. She received the Ruth Page Award for Outstanding Dancer in 1992. From 1977 to 2001, Bataille also served the company as Assistant Artistic Director, Ballet Mistress and Rehearsal Director. She choreographed five works between 1978 and 1985 and toured nationally and internationally with Hubbard Street.

Bataille began teaching at the Lou Conte Dance Studio in 1975 and has been teaching dance in Chicago ever since. In 2003, she earned her certification in the Pilates Method with Romana’s Pilates in New York. In 2005, Bataille was appointed Associate Director of the Lou Conte Dance Studio at the Hubbard Street Dance Center and became its Director in 2008.

Fall Series 2014

HUBBARD STREET + THE SECOND CITY Kathryn Humphreys (Director, Education, Youth and Community Programs) joined Hubbard Street in 2002.

She develops and implements dance education initiatives designed to improve teacher and teaching artist practice and collaboration, to effect whole-school change and further the field’s understanding of the role of dance in public education. She oversees program development, implementation, and management of all of Hubbard Street’s in-school and community initiatives. With more than two decades of experience in arts education, her work supports local and national groups and, under her direction, the department has engaged in a series of in-depth research initiatives, contributing unique knowledge and assessment tools to the field, many of which have been widely published. Humphreys launched Hubbard Street Youth Dance Programs in 2007, connecting the choreographic process curricula Hubbard Street pioneered in schools with training in traditional dance techniques, for a unique and diverse slate of classes currently serving more than 1,000 students per year. The department’s Family Workshop Series brings generations together through dance, while Hubbard Street’s innovative Adaptive Dance Programs expand movement opportunities for Chicagoans with physical and mental disabilities. Humphreys consults locally and nationally on issues related to dance education, and holds an MA in Dance from Texas Woman’s University.

Lou Conte (Founder), after a performing career that included roles in Broadway musicals such as Cabaret, Mame and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, established the Lou Conte Dance Studio in 1974. Three years later, he founded what is now Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. Originally the company’s sole choreographer, he developed relationships with emerging and world-renowned dancemakers Lynne Taylor-Corbett, Margo Sappington and Daniel Ezralow. As the company grew, Conte continued to build Hubbard Street’s repertoire by forging a key relationship with Twyla Tharp in the 1990s, acquiring for the company seven of her works as well as original choreography. Hubbard Street then became an international enterprise with the inclusion of pieces by Jiří Kylián, Nacho Duato and Ohad Naharin. Throughout his 23 years as the company’s Artistic Director, Conte received numerous awards including the first Ruth Page Artistic Achievement Award in 1986, the Sidney R. Yates Arts Advocacy Award in 1995, and a Chicagoan of the Year award from Chicago magazine in 1999. In 2003, Conte was inducted as a laureate into the Lincoln Academy of Illinois, the state’s highest honor and, in 2014, he became one of five inaugural recipients of the City of Chicago’s Fifth Star Awards.

PROFILES CREATIVE TEAM Billy Bungeroth (Director) A blues purist, Billy Bungeroth left the Yardbirds at the height of their success to find his sound. After short stints with John Mayall and two British Supergroups, a poor review in a 1968 issue of Rolling Stone — and The Band’s Music from Big Pink record — caused him to again rethink his direction. In the years following, an affair with his best friend’s wife inspired an album and sound that would catapult him to superstardom, yet unrequited love and an uneasiness with success contributed to decades-long struggles with heroin and alcohol. At the end of the 1980s, once Bungeroth had finally found sobriety, wealth and a taste for Armani suits, a family tragedy led him back, once again, to his musical roots, where he cemented his reputation as one of the decade’s most well-known acts. In this new century, Bungeroth has often been criticized for concentrating on family and philanthropy, avoiding the spotlight entirely. Nevertheless — and now 70 — he is quite content having left life on the road, as an ambassador of blues guitar. Bungeroth wishes to thank Hubbard Street for the unforgettable experience of this cross-disciplinary creative collaboration.

Julie B. Nichols (Musical Director, Original Composition, Sound Design) is an alumna of The Second City Mainstage. Her credits include Let Them Eat Chaos, Spoiler Alert: Everybody Dies and the Jeff Award–nominated South Side of Heaven. Prior to life on the Mainstage, Julie was the Associate Musical Director for Boom Chicago in Amsterdam. Nichols is currently developing new works at the University of Chicago, composing for commercials, and learning about redwoods.

She ran the household, ran her boys to innumerable practices and games, and ran the snakes out of Western Mass. Jagodowski’s father has been a plumber for more than forty years. During that time, there has not been a single day in which his hands were not stained with dirt from someone’s basement, grease from a coupling pipe, or the salt of a summer sweat. These people toiled, and still do, while for twenty years their eldest son has made make-believe in Chicago. He is thrilled to have made even more make-believe with Hubbard Street, and gives his sincere thanks to Beth, his brothers Troy and Todd, Billy Bungeroth, David Pasquesi, Nana and Papa, the Boston Red Sox and his aforementioned parents, without whom he would’ve had to work for his living.

About Hubbard Street Hubbard Street Dance Chicago’s core purpose is to bring artists, art and audiences together to enrich, engage, educate, transform and change lives through the experience of dance. Celebrating its 37th season in 2014–15, Hubbard Street continues to be an innovative force, supporting its creative talent while presenting repertory by major international artists.

Hubbard Street Dance Chicago grew out of the Lou Conte Dance Studio at LaSalle and Hubbard Streets in 1977, when Lou Conte gathered an ensemble of four dancers to perform in senior centers across Chicago. Barbara G. Cohen soon joined the company as its first Executive Director. Conte continued to direct the company for 23 years, during which he initiated and grew relationships with both emerging and established artists including Nacho Duato, Daniel Ezralow, Jiří Kylián, Ohad Naharin, Lynne Taylor-Corbett and Twyla Tharp.

Conte’s successor Jim Vincent widened Hubbard Street’s international focus, began Hubbard Street’s collaboration with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and cultivated growth from within, launching the Inside/Out Choreographic Workshop and inviting Resident Choreographer Alejandro Cerrudo to make his first work. Gail Kalver’s 23 years of executive leadership provided continuity from 1984 through the 2006–07 season, when Executive Director Jason Palmquist joined the organization.

Glenn Edgerton became Artistic Director in 2009 and, together with Palmquist, moved this legacy forward on multiple fronts. Inside/Out is now part of a three-pronged program for building repertoire, the Choreographic Development Initiative, aimed at being a national model for artistic development while proactively diversifying contemporary concert dance.

Partnerships with the CSO, Art Institute of Chicago and other institutions keep Hubbard Street deeply connected to its hometown. To the company’s repertoire, Edgerton has extended relationships with its signature choreographers while adding significant new voices such as Kyle Abraham, Mats Ek, Sharon Eyal, Alonzo King and Victor Quijada.

The main company’s 18 members comprise one of the only ensembles in the U.S. to perform all year long, domestically and around the world, while two nationally renowned Summer Intensive Programs bring young artists into its ranks. Hubbard Street 2, its second company for early-career artists, was founded in 1997 by Conte and Julie Nakagawa. Now directed by Terence Marling, HS2 cultivates young professional dancers, identifies next-generation choreographers, and performs domestically and abroad in service of arts education, collaboration, experimentation and audience development.

Hubbard Street’s Education and Community Programs are nationwide benchmarks for arts experience and appreciation in schools, impacting the lives of thousands of students. In 2009, Hubbard Street launched Youth and Family Programs to teach dance with an emphasis on creative expression. In 2014, Adaptive Dance Programs for youth with autism spectrum disorder and physical disabilities joined the first dance-based program in the Midwest for those affected by Parkinson’s disease.

At the Lou Conte Dance Studio — where Hubbard Street began in 1974 — workshops and master classes allow access to expertise, while a broad variety of weekly classes offer training at all levels in jazz, ballet, modern, tap, African, hip-hop, yoga, Pilates®, Zumba® and more.

THE SECOND CITY STAFF + PROFILES Andrew Alexander, CEO/Executive Producer Kelly Leonard, Executive Vice President Mike Gart, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operations Officer Beth Kligerman, Director of Talent Development Jenna Deja, Managing Producer Nate DuFort, Producer, Theatricals Jeremy Smith, Associate Producer Robin Hammond, Director of Marketing Andrew Alexander (CEO/Executive Producer, The Second City) is best known for his leadership of The Second City theater company and the hit television show SCTV. Born in London, England, Alexander studied at Tri-State College in Indiana and Ryerson University in Toronto. Working as a cab driver, truck driver, speakeasy operator, waiter, tree salesman, marketing manager, ad salesman, magazine editor and producer in Toronto’s alternative theater scene positioned him well for a career in comedy; that chance came in 1974 when he became the head of The Second City in Toronto. Alexander has since produced or executive-produced more than 200 Second City revues in Canada and the United States. Since acquiring The Second City Chicago in 1985, the company under Alexander’s leadership has collected 148 Jeff Award nominations and 28 wins, while Second City Toronto has won two Dora Awards and been nominated for 17 more since 1975. Alexander’s prolific career as a television producer includes co-developing and executive-producing more than 185 half-hour shows, and he produced more than 150 hours of television comedy for the series SCTV, which garnered an ACTRA Award, two Emmy Awards and 13 Emmy nominations during its broadcast run. Alexander has gone on to produce star-studded movies and develop projects for all major television networks including HBO, Showtime, Comedy Central, A&E and the CBC. In his current capacity as CEO/Executive Producer of The Second City, Alexander ensures that the company continues to innovate and inspire.

Kelly Leonard (Executive Vice President, The Second City; President, Second City Theatricals) has worked at The Second City since 1988, overseeing productions with such notable performers as Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Adam McKay, Seth Meyers, Rachel Dratch, Amy Poehler, Jason Sudeikis, Keegan Michael Key, Amy Sedaris and a host of others. Leonard co-founded Second City Theatricals, the division of the company that develops an eclectic array of live entertainment all over the world.

Recent productions include The Second City Guide to the Opera starring Renée Fleming and Sir Patrick Stewart with the Lyric Opera of Chicago; America All Better, nominated for a Helen Hayes Award at the Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company in Washington, D.C.; and this world premiere collaboration with Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. Leonard also brokered a deal that brought The Second City to the high seas, where the company maintains full-time ensembles aboard Norwegian Cruise Line’s ships. Crain’s Chicago Business has included Leonard on its “40 Under 40” list and he has been named one of Time Out Chicago’s top 40 cultural figures in the city. He recently received an honorary doctorate from his alma mater, Lake Forest College, and his first book, Yes, And will be published by HarperCollins in February 2015. Leonard lives in Chicago with his wife Anne Libera, and their children Nick and Nora.

Fall Series 2014

ABOUT THE SECOND CITY Rooted in the improvisational games of Viola Spolin, The Second City opened in Chicago in December 1959 and began developing its entirely unique way of creating and performing comedy.

Founded by Spolin’s son, Paul Sills, along with Howard Alk and Bernie Sahlins, The Second City was experimental and unconventional in its approaches to both theater and comedy, railing against conformist culture with scenes that spoke to a younger generation.

Broadway successes for Mike Nichols and Elaine May — members of The Second City’s predecessor, The Compass Players — put attention on the fledgling company. Alumni such as Alan Arkin, Barbara Harris, Robert Klein, David Steinberg and Fred Willard cemented the theater’s reputation for developing multiple generations of comedic voices. The original October 1975 cast of NBC’s Saturday Night Live included alumni John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd and Gilda Radner, and The Second City became internationally recognized.

The Second City’s sister theater in Canada developed its own sketch comedy series, SCTV, hailed as one of the greatest comedy series of all time with an all-star cast including Martin Short, Andrea Martin, Catherine O’Hara, John Candy, Eugene Levy, Dave Thomas, Joe Flaherty and Rick Moranis.

By the mid-1980s, The Second City began a new era as Second City Toronto proprietors Andrew Alexander and Len Stuart bought out Bernie Sahlins’ interest in The Second City Chicago and set in motion a new era of innovation for the company.

Today, The Second City continues to produce premier comic talent, while its imprint is felt across the entertainment industry, as represented by alumni Mike Myers, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey and many others.

The organization has diversified as it’s grown, launching Second City Training Centers in Chicago, Toronto and Los Angeles; four touring companies performing Second City revues across North America and abroad; Second City Communications, an industry leader in bringing improv-based methodologies to the corporate sector; and a growing commitment to producing innovative, original content for film, television and the digital realm.

ABOUT HARRIS THEATER FOR MUSIC AND DANCE

The Joan W. and Irving B. Harris Theater for Music and Dance is a 1500-seat state-of-the art performance venue located in Chicago’s Millennium Park. Opened in November 2003, the nonprofit Harris Theater was the first multiuse performance venue built in downtown Chicago since 1929. Harris Theater serves as a unique national model of collaboration between the philanthropic community and performing arts organizations in music and dance. More than a decade later, the Theater features the most diverse offerings of any venue in Chicago, hosting local, national, and internationally renowned artists and ensembles.

The Harris Theater’s primary mission is to partner with an array of Chicago’s music and dance performing arts organizations to help them build the resources and infrastructure necessary to achieve artistic growth and long-term organizational sustainability. The Harris Theater’s original group of 12 resident companies has grown to include 35 diverse and exceptionally talented performing arts organizations, including internationally acclaimed Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Music of the Baroque, Chicago Opera Theater, Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s MusicNow, and collaborations with Lyric Opera of Chicago, National Museum of Mexican Art, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and Columbia College Chicago. Through these partnerships, the Theater has earned national recognition as a distinctive model for collaboration, performance, and artistic advancement.

The Theater supports this mission by providing these partner organizations with subsidized rental, technical expertise, and marketing support, allowing the organizations to focus on what they do best—bringing the finest in music and dance performances to the public. The Theater offers professional development opportunities, including the innovate Learning Lab, endorsed with grants from the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Harris Theater is also dedicated to presenting internationally acclaimed music and dance organizations to enhance its reputation as well as to help build audiences for the Theater’s resident companies. Through the Harris Theater Presents series, the Theater has achieved widespread recognition as a vital cultural anchor in Chicago. Daniel Barenboim, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Renee Fleming, the Hamburg Ballet, Lang Lang, the New York City Ballet, the Paris Opéra Ballet, the San Francisco Ballet, Stephen Sondheim, and many others have graced the Harris’ Elizabeth Morse Genius Stage through this series.

The Harris Theater maintains a commitment to community engagement for children, teens, and adults. Programs advance access to, and understanding of, the performing arts. They include the Family Series and the lunchtime Eat to the Beat series. Collaborating with community arts centers and health and human service agencies, the Theater has provided more than 7,000 complimentary tickets through its Access Tickets Program. Through the Teen Arts Project, the theater partners with public and private schools to provide “behind the scenes” access to visiting world-class artists through master classes, artist discussions, and other enrichment activities. hubbardstreetdance.com
