And music, and food culture, and dance, and visual arts. Here's what some of our local theaters are saying about us: Credit: Kyle Smart The Chicago Reader has been a vital catalyst in rooting The Impostors Theatre Company’s presence within the heart of the Chicago theater community. With insightful coverage and reviews of our productions, the Reader has not only elevated our visibility but has also provided a platform for our unique voice to be heard. These reviews have bolstered our ensemble’s growth as storytellers and further contributed to the vibrant tapestry of the Chicago theater and arts scene. The Chicago Reader exemplifies the power of media in fostering a thriving cultural landscape. Stefan Roseen, Artistic Director The Impostors Theatre Co. “Working in theater in a time when so much of the national discourse is focused on the economic hardships that our community is facing can be quite discouraging. Add to that the consolidation of media outlets or, in some cases, the elimination of arts and culture coverage altogether, and you suddenly have a situation where theaters and arts organizations are struggling to capture attention for the amazing work they do. I want to commend the Chicago Reader for their unwavering support of the Chicago arts community, in particular the live performing arts. Their consistent coverage of the Destinos Chicago International Latino Theater Festival attracts new audiences, while shining a critical spotlight on the amazing work being produced by Chicago’s Latino theater groups. It also helps get the word out to the Latino community, a growing demographic that is looking for stories that reflect their lived experiences.” Jorge Valdivia Executive Director Chicago Latino Theater Alliance (CLATA) The Reader needs your support today to continue to support our fellow artists.
