Chicago's About Face Postpones Show, Launches Emergency Fundraising Campaign

Yahoo: "What Once We Felt by Ann-Marie Healy will be bumped to October-November 2009. But due to the economic downturn, the theatre - like other regional not-for-profit troupes - is in trouble.
Artistic director Bonnie Metzgar and managing director Rick Dildine announced on Feb. 25 that the About Face Theatre board of directors has launched a national 'Face the Future' campaign to save the organization by raising $300,000."

I am becoming increasingly concerned with how the economic crisis is affecting the theatrical world. I'm hoping that this downward trend does not continue, and we will soon see a climb in the success of theaters nation-wide.
