PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENT (CONTINUED) FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A AS TIME HAS PROGRESSED WE'VE CONTINUED TO PROVIDE AN ECLECTIC AND INSPIRING ASSORTMENT OF PRODUCTIONS. SIMPLY SITTING BENEATH THE SWEEPING ARCHES AND CONTEMPLATING THE BREADTH OF TALENT TO GRACE THE THEATRE IS ASTOUNDING. FORMER PRESIDENTS THEODORE ROOSEVELT AND WILLIAM MCKINLEY GAVE SPEECHES WHERE, YEARS LATER, INCANDESCENT MUSICIANS SUCH AS JIMI HENDRIX, THE DOORS, ARETHA FRANKLIN, AND ELTON JOHN PERFORMED. WHETHER FRANK SINATRA OR ITZHAK PERLMAN, THE BEACH BOYS OR BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, WE ARE PROUD OF ALL THOSE WHO HAVE GRACED OUR STAGE, BUT WE ARE ALWAYS FOCUSED ON IMPROVING AND ENHANCING THE QUALITY OF OUR LINEUP - FOR A LANDMARK THEATRE IN ONE OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST CITIES, NOTHING ELSE WILL SUFFICE. RATHER THAN LIMIT OURSELVES TO ONE SPECIFIC DISCIPLINE, WE CONTINUALLY SHOWCASE THE FINEST CROSS SECTION OF ARTISTIC WORKS POSSIBLE - DANCERS, SINGERS, AND MUSICIANS WHO DEMONSTRATE ELITE TALENT, AND THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF DEDICATION TO THEIR CRAFT. THROUGHOUT OUR 2012 - 2013 FISCAL YEAR WE CONTINUED TO SELECT PROGRAMMING THAT EMBODIES THESE LOFTY IDEALS. PROGRAMMING INCLUDED: ON STAGE WITH...SUSAN WERNER, THE ACTION-FILLED BALLET FOLKLORICO DE MEXICO, CANADA'S ROYAL WINNIPEG BALLET, EISENHOWER DANCE ENSEMBLE, THE EIFMAN BALLET OF ST. PETERSBURG, AND ALVIN AILEY AMERICAN DANCE THEATER. WE WERE AGAIN PROUD TO SHOWCASE OUR KINETIC, SELF-PRODUCED MUSICAL EVENT, TOO HOT TO HANDEL: THE JAZZ GOSPEL MESSIAH, WHICH GRACED OUR STAGE IN HONOR OF THE DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. HOLIDAY. TOO HOT TO HANDEL IS ONE OF THE AUDITORIUM'S SIGNATURE EVENTS - AND A TRUE CELEBRATION OF DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION. WE ALSO INITIATED OUR SELF-PRODUCED MUSIC AND MOVEMENT FESTIVAL, A UNIQUE CITYWIDE EVENT THAT PAIRED MUSICIANS AND MUSICAL COMPANIES WITH DANCERS, DANCE COMPANIES, AND OTHER ARTISTIC GROUPS THAT EMPHASIZE MOVEMENT AND PHYSICALITY. ALL THE PARTICIPANTS WERE COMMISSIONED TO CREATE ORIGINAL WORKS THAT POSSESSED NOT ONLY EXCEPTIONAL MERIT, BUT WERE ALSO SOCIALLY AND CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT. A TOTAL OF TWELVE WORKS WERE COMMISSIONED BY THE AUDITORIUM FROM ELEVEN SEPARATE COMPANIES AND A VARIETY OF ARTISTIC MEDIUMS (I.E., JAZZ, LATIN DANCE, HIP-HOP, R&B, ETC.) WERE EXPLORED IN THE ACCOMPANYING PERFORMANCES. WE ARE 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. AS EVIDENCE OF OUR COMMITMENT TO QUALITY AND ECLECTICISM, EACH SEASON WE ALSO PRESENT A MIX OF BROADWAY PRODUCTIONS AND CONTEMPORARY MUSIC CONCERTS. 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, THIS PAST SEASON 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. APPROXIMATELY 250,000 PATRONS VISIT OUR THEATRE EACH YEAR, AND WE ARE HONORED TO SERVE AS CULTURAL, CIVIC AND ARTISTIC AMBASSADORS TO CHICAGO, AND THE WORLD.
