A Special Message from the Irish Theatre of Chicago…
“The Things That Never Were”
You may have seen it online, a feature in the latest edition of Chicago magazine. It is a poignant look at “events that didn’t happen” captured by a trio of photographers in mid-March as “the city entered lockdown.” From the empty Auditorium Theatre to McCormick Place to Symphony Center and Soldier Field, the Chicago team gathered a gallery of public event places: several stages, the cathedral, a music club and more, mostly framing them in the company of empty chairs or rows of vacant seats. On March 14 Lenny Gilmore went to the Den Theatre and photographed the set of Irish Theatre of Chicago’s Pineapple on what was to have been Opening Night. Directed by ITC’s Siiri Scott, this would have been the U. S. premiere of Phillip McMahon’s acclaimed play. This also would have been the launch of Irish Theatre of Chicago’s return to our city’s cultural life and theatre scene.
Now, with this hiatus, we bide our time, look after our loved ones, and join the entire Chicago community in holding on and holding together. We are taking stock and looking to the future. With your help we will return to the stage powered by your support. We remain dedicated to the brilliance of the Irish playwright, the work of the ITC Ensemble, and to our loyal audience.
Your financial support now will lift Irish Theatre over the divide between what-should-have-been and what-will-be. Your gift now will see ITC through the current lockdown and provide the needed means for coming back in dynamic Chicago style, honest, electric, and connected. Connected to you. For you. For this great city and Irish culture.
The need is critical. With all the expenses of preparing Pineapple for its premiere and run at the Den Theatre, and without any of the revenue that would have been realized from ticket sales to this U. S. premiere, we reach out to our friends and supporters and ask for your help at this critical moment in our 25-year history. We ask you to help the Irish Theatre of Chicago to a new future when we can all gratefully return to those stages, those seats, and great performances.
