Subscriber and annual donor Mary Blackwell recently<br />
named a seat in the Albert <strong>Theatre</strong>. She shares why<br />
she supports the <strong>Goodman</strong>.<br />
How long have you been involved with the<br />
<strong>Goodman</strong>?<br />
A long time; I saw plays back at the old theater at<br />
the Art Institute, and I’ve been a donor for more than<br />
10 years.<br />
With all the options in Chicago, why do you support<br />
<strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong>?<br />
I thought you staged good plays at a price that I<br />
could afford. When I was in high school I was always<br />
in plays because I had a good memory. We did a lot<br />
of Shakespeare. In the late ’40s or early ’50s, I came<br />
to Chicago from Mississippi and I started to go to<br />
the <strong>Goodman</strong>. I recently attended an event that was<br />
about the <strong>Goodman</strong>’s education programs and I was<br />
so impressed! I didn’t know about all the educational<br />
programs you do; they’re just wonderful.<br />
Do you support other arts and cultural organizations<br />
in Chicago?<br />
I support the Art Institute and I used to go to the<br />
orchestra and the opera.<br />
You just recently named a seat in the Albert<br />
<strong>Theatre</strong>. How did that come about?<br />
A few months ago, I received a call from the<br />
<strong>Goodman</strong>. The person I talked to told me about naming<br />
a seat. It seemed like a nice idea and they made<br />
it easy to do.<br />
How would you describe the <strong>Goodman</strong> to others?<br />
I would say it’s a very nice place to enjoy a good<br />
play and not spend a fortune.<br />
