International Initiatives
"I believe we—like the undeniably global city we live in—must spread our wings to become a truly international cultural force...to challenge, inspire and delight communities in Europe, South America and Asia the same way we do Chicago audiences. Theater (of all the arts, perhaps) has the capacity to increase awareness and understanding among people from different parts of the world."
-Robert Falls, Goodman Theatre Artistic Director
