Time Out Chicago / Issue 135 : Sep 27–Oct 3, 2007

Theater

Can our storefront theaters survive the Broadway blitz?

By Christopher Piatt and Kris Vire

	Bright lights? Big deal.: With the city’s attention fixated on glitzy Loop theaters, we ask if there’s still room for a theater of our own.
	Fat Cats: Is Chicago theater destined for the same overblown status as New York’s Disney-fied Broadway in Times Square?
	Staging a coup: If we ran the city, we’d make these five big changes to Chicago theater.
	Cheap shots: Check out five upcoming, locally produced shows with a per-ticket price of $25 or less.
