2014//2015 ANNUAL REPORT
AMERICAN BLUES THEATER
PRODUCING ARTISTIC DIRECTOR LETTER
SEASON 29 — AN EXTRAORDINARY YEAR!
We began Season 29 “Lost & Sound” with the remount of our Joseph Jefferson
Award winning musical Hank Williams: Lost Highway. We extended the
production numerous times, resulting in a three-month run that broke box-office
records. Ensemble members Matthew Brumlow, Michael Mahler, Austin Cook,
James Leaming, Suzanne Petri, and Artistic Affiliate Dana Black were featured.
Michael Mahler received the honor of playing the original guitar used in the
recordings by Hank Williams & the Drifting Cowboys.
While Hank Williams was bringing down the house in Lincoln Park, our passion
project Native Son was performing to sold-out audiences in Hyde Park. After
receiving permission from the Wright Estate in 2010, we commissioned Ensemble
member Nambi E. Kelley to adapt Richard Wright’s explosive and acclaimed novel
Native Son. As we developed this remarkable story throughout the years, we
understood the momentous opportunity and duty to present this resonant work
to the masses.
Due to Court Theatre’s location (Chicago’s South Side), we approached them to coproduce. We knew their audience capacity and access to resources would greatly
enhance our production. Together, we proudly presented the world-premiere
adaptation in 2014—four years after the initial spark. Native Son broke box-office
records for Court Theatre and American Blues Theater and earned the Joseph
Jefferson Award for lead actor (Jerod Haynes) and four (4) other nominations.
Next, we broke box-office records again with It’s a Wonderful Life: Live in Chicago!. This year marked the sixth and final year that
Kevin Kelly would play “George Bailey”. Many tears were shed between cast and audience alike.
We proudly produced the Chicago premiere of Yankee Tavern written by Steven Dietz. We were honored that Mr. Dietz attended
a performance and spoke at a special audience engagement event.
We closed our mainstage season with the Chicago revival of Side Man by Warren Leight. This Jeff Award-nominated production
became another highly-lauded show of the season and received national acclaim by The Wall Street Journal.
Our education and auxiliary artistic programming grew exponentially. Our free arts education program, The Lincoln Project,
doubled in size to serve 1,000 Chicago Public School students. We produced 10 world-premiere 10-minute plays in our annual
Ripped: the Living Newspaper Festival; produced an additional Ripped event to benefit DCFS; developed a world-premiere musical
with Dan Castellaneta, Deb Lacusta, and Laura Hall through Blueprint Development; and named Other Than Honorable as the
winner of the 2015 Blue Ink Playwriting Award.
Our art and fiscal stability flourished through 2014-2015.
The Blues foundation is stronger than ever as we enter our 30th anniversary season.

ABOUT AMERICAN BLUES THEATER
VISION
American Blues Theater is the premier American theater
producing visceral theatrical works while engaging
its audience in missions of local service agencies.
MISSION
“We are so grateful for the recognition
and support this program provides.”
Laura Sage, Chairman
The Lynn Sage Foundation
American Blues Theater illuminates the American ideas
of freedom, equality, and opportunity in the plays
we produce and communities we serve.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
We believe it is an honor and duty to serve our community. We raise
awareness of other non-profit organizations’ great causes through creative
collaborations. Using the theme of each script we produce, we choose
community partners for every production during our season.
This season we distributed promotional materials (Old Town School of Folk
Music, Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, and Chicago Jazz Orchestra) and
provided complimentary tickets (USO, Misericordia, Anixter Center, Adler
University, and Rock for Kids). Before every performance of Side Man,
professional jazz musicians and high school bands played for the audience.
We donated proceeds from our “Pink Previews” to The Lynn Sage Foundation
for breast cancer research. In addition, all proceeds from RIPPED: The Living
Newspaper Festival were used to fund our arts education program The Lincoln
Project that serves 1,000 students annually in Chicago Public Schools.
