2010 Holiday Letter

Holiday_benefit_-_evite-01

Dear Friend,

I am proud to write you in connection with Bailiwick Chicago’s first anniversary celebration. As you probably know by now, a group of talented and experienced theater artists in the city formed Bailiwick Chicago a little over one year ago with big dreams and lofty ambitions.

And what an amazing first year it has been! We started with the musical review SHOW US YOUR LOVE at Hamburger Mary's, followed by a workshop of the new musical BLOOM at Chicago Center for the Performing Arts. Over the summer, we tackled both Elton John and Tim Rice’s AIDA in American Theater Company's space AND Tony-award winning playwright Joe DiPietro's F--KING MEN at Stage773. And with barely a breath between, we wrapped up the year with the U.S. premiere of the hit musical from London DEPARTURE LOUNGE at the Royal George.

The Chicago press has been incredibly complimentary, calling us "provocative", "relevant" and "exciting." But it was the enthusiastic support of people like YOU that made this first season possible. And for that, we are truly grateful.

In this economy, with so many theater companies in Chicago, you may wonder why we do this. We believe that theatre has the power to inspire, enlighten, and alter the collective consciousness. This belief drives us to create theatre that teaches, reaches the under-served, and elicits action toward global harmony, stewardship and unity. Every person and community has a story to tell. It is Bailiwick Chicago’s privilege to tell it.

You may not be aware that ticket sales for our productions only cover about 40% of the costs needed to tell these extraordinary stories. Our 2011 season, shaping up to be just as phenomenal as our first, will not happen without your generous support to help us reach our fundraising goals.

We need your support. Each and every donation, no matter how much, will ensure that Bailiwick Chicago can continue to produce nothing less than amazing theater.

Please visit our website www.bailiwickchicago.com and make your donation today. We are proud to be your theater and we will strive to earn your patronage year after year.

Thank you for your support of Bailiwick Chicago, and may you and yours have a fantastic new year!

Always,

Kevin Mayes
Executive Director
