Theatre In Chicago
Chicago theatre refers not only to theatre performed in Chicago, Illinois but also to the movement in that town that saw a number of small, meagerly funded companies grow to institutions of national and international significance. Chicago had long been a popular destination for tours sent out from New York managements. The troupes that are commonly regarded as having started the postwar stage renaissance were The Second City and The Goodman Theatre.
