Chicago's Big Personality
Makes it a Must-See by Jonathan Wallace
Top
Dubbed
the City of Big Shoulders due to the numerous sky scrapers and giant
buildings scattered around, Chicago is an immense city to behold.
Boasting an even bigger personality, it is home to a veritable wealth of
cultural treats and renowned annual events, thus making it an electrifying
place to visit. Testimony to its appeal, more 30 million people travel
there every year.
Located
in the state of Illinois, along the south west shores of Lake Michigan,
the city has grown from its modest beginnings in 1833 to become a
thriving modern metropolis. Divided into four distinct areas - the North
Side, South Side, West Side and Downtown - there is a breathtaking range
of sights and attractions to explore.

For
instance, home to a superb selection of public art, there are many
artistic works dotted around Chicago's outside spaces, including pieces
by the legendary Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró. It also plays host to a
number of major cultural, sporting and political events.
Having
brought about the rise of modern improvisational theatre, Chicago is a
great place to experience an assortment of live shows and performances.
Indeed, there are more than 200 critically-acclaimed theatre companies in
the city including the Lifeline Theatre and Remy Bumppo.
Whilst
a lot of the companies make use of their own theatre facilities, many
also put on performances in some more unusual spaces, such as
storefronts, bars and black-box theatres. The result is impressive and
visitors cannot fail to be drawn in by Chicago's passion for
entertainment. And, in addition to its resident theatres, the city also
sees a number touring productions take to the stage, meaning there is
always something new to discover.

The
Victory Gardens Theatre is a definite highlight for any visitor intending
to come to Chicago. Established in 1974, it is home to numerous resident
playwrights and, as such, is often the site of premiers, including James
Sherman's Beau Jest and Voice of Good Hope by Kristine Thatcher. In fact,
in recognition of its contributions to the scene, the New York Times
described it as helping to place Chicago alongside New York in terms of
theatre.
The
Organic Theatre Company is also well worth a visit. Again founded in the
1970s, its mission has always been to bring exciting, new performances to
the stage that reflects what is happening in the outside world.
Subsequently, there is an interesting assortment of new adaptations and
old world classics to enjoy.
The
City of Big Shoulders is an impressive one to experience. As well as
offering up a huge slice of culture, its theatre offerings are second to
none. Add to the mix a remarkable collection of delicious eateries,
vibrant bars and clubs, and a range of Chicago hotels and you have the
perfect holiday destination to head to.
