The New Colony, an Experimental Troupe, Wins Broadway In Chicago's Emerging Theater Award

Playbill.com: "The award was created in 2007 'to encourage, support and promote emerging theatres in Chicago that have demonstrated great ability and promise, artistic excellence and fiscal responsibility in business practices,' according to Broadway in Chicago. The New Colony was selected by a majority vote of their peers — member companies of the League of Chicago Theatres.

I think it is really great that this award exists and encourages these lesser-known theatres in Chicago. Chicago is definitely a thriving place for theatre, so it is nice to see that an organization (Bway in Chicago) is putting money into these companies. And I think the award helps on the arts community end, as well. With this type of opportunity, I am sure it bring the quality of shows up as companies essentially compete for money to develop and strengthen.
