A Challenge: Chicago-Theater-A-Day

Theater For The Future: "So perhaps you haven’t heard yet:
The TCG National Conference is coming to Chicago in 269 days (as of this post).
At the recent host committee planning session at the League of Chicago Theatres for Chicago’s contribution to the festivities (many many cool events, opportunities, and ideas are in the works for all sizes of theaters, and we’ll need your help putting them together) someone made a pretty simple observation: 269 is approximately the number of active theaters in Chicago.
So someone else threw out the idea: What if we created a youtube channel, and featured a video of a Chicago Theater each day until the conference?"

This is a very out-there concept, trying to get every theatre company in Chicago to make a video. It would be incredible to see if people actually did it, but I doubt that the initiative will actually get the participation they're looking for. That said, I will be sending this link back to the production manager at the theatre I interned with over the summer, and I might just end up making the video during a break from school.
