In Chicago, Apple Tree Falls After 26 Years

Yahoo! News: "The Apple Tree Theatre in suburban Chicago has closed its doors after 26 years, according to its website, which states, 'Apple Tree Theatre and the Eileen Boevers Performing Arts Workshop have ceased operations.'
Its founder, Eileen Boevers, died earlier this year. She had retired in 2008. The website statement continues, 'The Board of Directors wishes to thank all the artists, teachers, students, staff, patrons and community that supported operations for the Theatre's 26 years and the Workshop's nearly 40 years.'"

This article is very sad that a theater had to close because of a combination of death of there founder and funding issues. it seems like a major theater in the Chicago aira and that a lot of famous people worked with them. and it seems like they have started from the little theater company 26 years ago and grew to a big theater company and now it is closed. also the fact that the founder son works hear in CMU with the tec theater department. i hop that there is not many more theater that close so that i will have a job when i get out.
