THE CONTRACT INCLUDED A COMMITMENT THAT THE ATRU WOULD CONTRIBUTE FUNDS FOR SPECIFIC CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,500,000 IN JANUARY 2012.
GRANT PAID TO FULFILL ORGANIZATION'S MISSION SCHEDULE I, PART II, LINE 1 THE AUDITORIUM THEATRE'S RECENT CONSTRUCTION EFFORTS HAVE PROVED TO BE SOME OF OUR MOST AMBITIOUS AND CHALLENGING INITIATIVES IN RECENT MEMORY. THEY PROVIDED US WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND OUR IMPACT ON HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PATRONS WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY ENHANCING THE EXPERIENCE OF OUR THEATRE FOR EVERY VISITOR THAT STEPS THROUGH OUR DOORS-OBJECTIVES THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL TO OUR MISSION. ULTIMATELY, THE ELEVATOR AND REHEARSAL SPACE COST A COMBINED $1.5 MILLION AND REQUIRED NEARLY A YEAR OR LABOR AND CONSTRUCTION. THE ELEVATOR HAS BEEN PROVIDING EXPANDED ACCESS AND GREATER COMFORT TO OUR PATRONS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, AND THE REHEARSAL STUDIO IS PROVING TO BE A VERSATILE AND DYNAMIC COMPLEMENT TO OUR THEATRE. THE AUDITORIUM IS COMPLIANT WITH THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA)-HOWEVER, WE ALWAYS STRIVE TO ENHANCE THE THEATRE-GOING EXPERIENCE FOR OUR PATRONS AND WE CONSISTENTLY PURSUE ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO ENSURE OUR THEATRE DOES NOT MERELY MEET THE REQUISITE THRESHOLD FOR MINIMAL COMPLIANCE, BUT SATISFIES A GREATER STANDARD FOR ALL THE PEOPLE OF CHICAGO. THE KATTEN/LANDAU REHEARSAL STUDIO PROVIDES ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR THEATRE. IMMEDIATELY AFTER ITS INCEPTION, VISITING AND LOCAL DANCE COMPANIES PERFORMING ON THE AUDITORIUM'S STAGE WERE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE REHEARSAL SPACE TO IMPROVE THEIR ROUTINES AND ENHANCE THEIR TECHNIQUES. WE HAVE ALSO USED THE STUDIO TO SHOWCASE UNDERREPRESENTED DANCE COMPANIES, HOST EVENTS, AND CONDUCT VALUABLE OUTREACH PROGRAMS INCLUDING HANDS TOGETHER, HEART TO ART, THE AUDITORIUM'S SUMMER ARTS CAMP FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE DEATH OF A PARENT.

PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENT (CONTINUED) FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED BY FAMED ARCHITECTS DANKMAR ADLER AND LOUIS SULLIVAN, THE THEATRE HAS BEEN A MAINSTAY OF CHICAGO ARCHITECTURE AND THEATRE SINCE 1889. THE ARCHITECTURAL GRANDEUR AND THE SUBLIME ARRAY OF ARTISTS WHO HAVE PERFORMED ON THE AUDITORIUM'S STAGE SPEAK TO ITS STATUS AS ONE OF THE FINEST THEATRES EVER CONSTRUCTED-ONE WHOSE PRESENCE AS AN ARCHITECTURAL AND CULTURAL ICON ONLY CONTINUES TO GROW. FOR 120 YEARS, THE AUDITORIUM THEATRE HAS EVOLVED, EACH DECADE USHERING IN A NEW CHALLENGE, AND A NEW VOICE. FROM THE OPERATIC GLORY OF OUR INCEPTION TO THE ROCK-AND-ROLL CONCERTS OF THE 1960'S AND 70'S, FROM A SETTING FOR THE WORLD'S MOST LEGENDARY MUSICALS TO THE GREATEST BALLETS, THE AUDITORIUM THEATRE HAS ADAPTED AND GROWN, BUT WE HAVE ALWAYS REMAINED DEDICATED TO PROVIDING THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF ARTISTIC EXPERIENCES WHILE PRESERVING THE STORIED PRINCIPLES UPON WHICH WE WERE FOUNDED. WE ARE ESPECIALLY THRILLED BY THE DIVERSITY AND COMPLEXITY OF THE ARTISTS TO GRACE OUR STAGE THROUGHOUT THE 2011-2012 FISCAL YEAR. ALVIN AILEY AMERICAN DANCE THEATRE, A PERENNIAL ANCHOR OF OUR DANCE SERIES, HAS BEEN PERFORMING ON OUR STAGE FOR WELL OVER A DECADE. PERFORMING A MIXED REPERTORY OF NEW WORKS AND CLASSICAL FAVORITES, THIS COMPANY NEVER FAILS TO DRAW HUGE, ENTHUSIASTIC CROWDS. WE ALSO WELCOME SUCH DIVERSE AND RESPECTED COMPANIES AS THE BOSTON POPS AND BATSHEVA DANCE COMPANY. ADDITIONALLY, THE AUDITORIUM THEATRE BEGAN A RECURRING PARTNERSHIP WITH ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST ESTEEMED AND RECOGNIZED DANCE COMPANIES, THE AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE, WHO PERFORMED IN MARCH, 2012. THE SIX-YEAR PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE AND AUDITORIUM THEATRE WILL ENABLE US TO CONTINUE OUR MISSION OF PROVIDING THE FINEST PROGRAMMING TO CHICAGO, AND WILL HELP ACQUAINT OUR PATRONS WITH A DANCE COMPANY OF UNPARALLELED SKILL AND GRACE. WE ARE ALSO HONORED TO HOST THE JOFFREY BALLET, OUR IN-RESIDENCE DANCE COMPANY SINCE 1998. THEY PERFORM THEIR FALL, WINTER, SPRING AND NUTCRACKER SEASONS ON THE AUDITORIUM THEATRE STAGE. IN ADDITION, WE ARE CONTINUING TO PRODUCE OUR MUSICAL TOUR DE FORCE, "TOO HOT TO HANDEL: THE JAZZ-GOSPEL MESSIAH," AND OUR CABARET SERIES. FINALLY, THROUGH RENTAL PARTNERSHIPS WE SHOWCASE AN ECLECTIC MIX OF BROADWAY ACTS ("FIDDLER ON THE ROOF"), AND CONTEMPORARY MUSIC CONCERTS (ANDREW BIRD). ALTHOUGH WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING INSPIRING PROGRAMMING, OUR ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS COMPRISE AN EQUALLY INTEGRAL AREA OF FOCUS. PROGRAMS SUCH AS "HANDS TOGETHER, HEART TO ART," A SUMMER CAMP FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE DEATH OF A PARENT, ARE CRUCIAL TO USING ARTISTIC EXPERIENCES - MUSIC, DANCE, THEATRE, AND SONG - AS A CONDUIT FOR GROWTH, GUIDANCE AND HEALING. SIMILARLY, WE BELIEVE THAT IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO USE OUR NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK STAGE TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE AND LIFELONG LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE TEACHERS WHO COMPRISE THE FIBER AND THE FUTURE OF OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE OBJECTIVES, WE DEVELOPED ARTSXCHANGE, A COLLABORATIVE AND ORIGINAL PROGRAM DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO ASSIST CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATORS WITH TEACHING THE ARTS TO THEIR STUDENTS. WITH A SEATING CAPACITY OF OVER 3,800 AND OUR STATUS AS A NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK AND A DESIGNATED CHICAGO LANDMARK, THE AUDITORIUM IS PROUD OF OUR EXTENSIVE HISTORY OF EXCEPTIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS. WE ANTICIPATE A TOTAL OF OVER 250,000 PATRONS WILL VISIT OUR THEATRE THIS FISCAL YEAR, AND WE ARE HONORED TO SERVE AS CULTURAL, CIVIC AND ARTISTIC AMBASSADORS TO CHICAGO, AND THE WORLD.
