Insider tour of theatrical Chicago
As associate artistic director of Chicago’s fabled Steppenwolf Theater Company from 2000-2005, Curt Columbus got to know the city pretty well. Columbus, artistic director of Providence’s Trinity Repertory Company since 2006, is showing off the theatrical city he knew in Trinity’s 2nd annual Chicago Tour, May 12-16. During the trip, Columbus, and his partner, Nate Watson, will provide insider perspective of the city and exposure to some of its brightest theatrical stars.
The tour costs $2,600 per person and includes airfare from T.F. Green Airport in Warwick; four nights at Hotel Burnham, a four-star boutique hotel in the heart of downtown Chicago, with continental breakfast daily, welcome reception and three meals; tickets to “500 Clown Trapped,” “The Hot L Baltimore,” “There Is a Happiness That Morning,” “Stage Kiss,” and “Heartbreak House”; discussions with artists, playwrights and directors; and all taxes, tips, admissions and service charges.
Proceeds from the tour benefit Trinity’s artistic and educational programming. For information, contact Frank Maher at 401-453-9276 or fmaher@trinityrep.com
