From the<br />

Artistic Director<br />

Our 2010/2011 Season was ambitious, featuring<br />

five premieres of new works as well as two<br />

new adaptations of classics. Collectively, these<br />

productions provided stunning proof of the artistic<br />

breadth and variety for which the <strong>Goodman</strong> is<br />

noted, along with the quality and diversity that our<br />

state-of-the-art facility has helped us achieve over<br />

the past decade. I was particularly excited to<br />

welcome back three of my favorite collaborators—<br />

Manilow Resident Director Mary Zimmerman,<br />

Artistic Associate Regina Taylor and MacArthur<br />

“Genius” Grant–winning playwright Sarah Ruhl—<br />

and pleased to welcome playwright Thomas<br />

Bradshaw to the <strong>Goodman</strong> for the first time.<br />

The Albert <strong>Theatre</strong> season opened with Mary<br />

Zimmerman’s production of Candide, featuring<br />

Leonard Bernstein’s award-winning musical score.<br />

Mary’s unique artistry and an outstanding cast<br />

made this funny, insightful and richly theatrical<br />

work one of the major successes of the Chicago<br />

theater season, which was repeated with the<br />

production’s subsequent run at the Shakespeare<br />

<strong>Theatre</strong> Company in Washington, DC. Following<br />

Candide was our 33rd annual production of A<br />

Christmas Carol, expertly directed for the fifth year<br />

by William Brown.<br />

In mid-January we presented Regina Taylor’s<br />

newest work, The Trinity River Plays (co-produced<br />

with Dallas Theater Center), an emotionally<br />

riveting study of love, loss and remembrance that<br />

won an Edgerton Foundation New American<br />

Plays Award in 2010. Poetic and beautifully acted<br />

by an ensemble headed by the amazing Karen<br />

Aldridge, this was Regina’s most personal work to<br />

date and further established her as one of our<br />

premier playwrights.<br />

Next up in the Albert was God of Carnage, a<br />

theatrical rarity as a comedy that translates easily<br />

to a variety of cultures and countries. Yasmina<br />

Reza’s remarkable play is a searingly comic<br />

dissection of what is perhaps the most daunting<br />

activity on earth: parenting. The <strong>Goodman</strong><br />

production, one of the most popular in our<br />

history, was brought to hilarious life by a skillful<br />

quartet of performers under the adept direction<br />

of Rick Snyder, on loan from his post<br />

as an ensemble member at Steppenwolf<br />

<strong>Theatre</strong> Company.<br />

In April we staged the world premiere of the<br />

<strong>Goodman</strong>-commissioned play Stage Kiss, Sarah<br />

Ruhl’s homage to the theater, romantic relationships<br />

and the often tenuous grasp that we all<br />

have on our own identities. Written with her<br />

trademark blend of humor, wisdom and humanity,<br />

Stage Kiss reaffirmed Sarah’s position as one<br />

of the singularly gifted voices of contemporary<br />

American theater.<br />

We ended the Albert season with the world<br />

premiere of David Henry Hwang’s Chinglish,<br />

directed by Leigh Silverman and produced in<br />

association with The Public Theater. Few plays<br />

in recent years have delighted our audiences<br />

(and me) as much as this hilariously perceptive<br />

look at the evolution of cultural identity on both<br />

a national and a personal level, and few plays<br />

are, I believe, as relevant to the world in which<br />

we now live.<br />

The Owen <strong>Theatre</strong> season opened with my spare,<br />

intimate interpretation of Anton Chekhov’s The<br />

Seagull, whose unforgettable characters reveal the<br />

passion and pathos of life. This new adaptation<br />

was brought to life by an ensemble of Chicago’s<br />

finest actors. Next was the world premiere of Mary,<br />

a <strong>Goodman</strong>-commissioned play by Prince Prize–<br />

and Guggenheim Fellowship–winning playwright<br />

Thomas Bradshaw in his Chicago debut. Inspired<br />

by a true story, Mary uses outrageous social satire<br />

to examine the pervasive nature of racism and<br />

homophobia in contemporary America. Deftly<br />

staged by May Adrales, the play inspired lively<br />

audience discussion throughout its run. Closing<br />

the Owen season was Tanya Saracho’s gripping<br />

El Nogalar (produced in collaboration with Teatro<br />

Vista), a play informed by Chekhov’s The Cherry<br />

Orchard but grounded in the violence that currently<br />

dominates the US/Mexico border.<br />

The 2010/2011 Season also brought transitions<br />

in our Artistic Collective, as Frank Galati departed<br />

after a remarkable 24-year tenure, and playwright<br />

Rebecca Gilman, a longtime <strong>Goodman</strong><br />

collaborator whose <strong>Goodman</strong> premieres include<br />

Spinning into Butter, Boy Gets Girl and A True<br />

History of the Johnstown Flood, joined the<br />

group. This distinguished body of resident artists<br />

also includes Associate Producer Steve Scott,<br />

Resident Artistic Associate Henry Godinez,<br />

Resident Director Chuck Smith, Manilow Resident<br />

Director Mary Zimmerman and Artistic Associates<br />

Brian Dennehy and Regina Taylor.<br />

Much of the success of the <strong>Goodman</strong> depends<br />

on the craftspeople and administrative staff who<br />

work behind the scenes to create a home away<br />

from home that allows resident and visiting artists<br />

to flourish and turn out their best work. Many<br />

thanks to my business partner, Roche Schulfer,<br />

who supports the artistic vision of the theater<br />

while working tirelessly with our governing boards,<br />

and to our General Manager Peter Calibraro,<br />

whose leadership and expertise secures its<br />

financial future.<br />

Our season of premieres was a satisfying way to<br />

both celebrate our 10th anniversary on Dearborn<br />

Street and explore — through myriad dramatic<br />

styles and voices —the power of live theater to<br />

entertain, provoke, reassure and enlighten. As<br />

always, I thank you for your support and patronage,<br />

and I look forward to seeing you next season.<br />

Robert Falls<br />

From the<br />

Executive Director<br />

The 2010/2011 Season marked the <strong>Goodman</strong>’s<br />

10th anniversary in our new home on Dearborn<br />

Street. Our artists, boards and staff worked<br />

exceedingly hard to make it our most exciting<br />

season to date.<br />

In the 2010/2011 Season, the <strong>Goodman</strong>:<br />

◆ Produced five world premieres, four by<br />

artists of color, and two new adaptations<br />

of classic works;<br />

◆ For the December 31, 2010 production of<br />

A Christmas Carol, made every seat in the<br />

house available to the USO, Children’s Memorial<br />

Hospital, Ronald McDonald House Charities<br />

and other charitable organizations, inviting<br />

troops and their families as well as chronically<br />

ill children to take part in one of Chicago’s most<br />

cherished holiday events. Illinois Governor<br />

Pat Quinn stopped by to greet the audience;<br />

◆ Produced the world premiere of Chinglish and<br />

celebrated its successful move to Broadway;<br />

◆ Built on our 30+ year commitment to diversity<br />

by hosting a series of community events<br />

related to productions on our stages written<br />

and/or directed by women and artists of color;<br />

◆ Led a group of Chicago arts and educational<br />

institutions to bring the Belarus Free <strong>Theatre</strong><br />

and their critically acclaimed production of<br />

Being Harold Pinter to Chicago;<br />

◆ Started GeNarrations, a new six-week<br />

writing workshop for senior citizens drawing<br />

on themes raised by the <strong>Goodman</strong>’s<br />

mainstage productions;<br />

◆ In November 2010, named former<br />

Mayor Richard Daley and Mrs. Maggie Daley<br />

Honorary Life Trustees at the re-dedication<br />

of the <strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> Complex and<br />

◆ Announced that nearly $10 million has<br />

been raised toward the theater’s Endowing<br />

Excellence Campaign.<br />

These are only some of the highlights from an<br />

exciting season. During Patricia Cox’s final year<br />

as Chairman of the Board of Trustees, we<br />

continued to advance our mission to make the<br />

<strong>Goodman</strong> the premier cultural organization in<br />

Chicago and to provide a nurturing environment<br />

for artists and theater professionals. With<br />

Patricia’s help, the <strong>Goodman</strong>’s 10th Anniversary<br />

Celebration generated a groundswell of support<br />

from longstanding donors and a record number of<br />

new supporters. Her leadership was inspirational<br />

and her focus admirable.<br />

The season’s success is also due in large part<br />

to the unending dedication and generosity of our<br />

Board of Trustees and Women’s Board, as well as<br />

the hard work and talent of the <strong>Goodman</strong>’s senior<br />

staff: General Manager Peter Calibraro, Associate<br />

Producer Steve Scott, Director of Development<br />

Dorlisa Martin, Director of Education and<br />

Community Engagement Willa Taylor, Director of<br />

Marketing and Public Relations Lori Kleinerman,<br />

Production Manager Scott Conn and Publicity<br />

Director Denise Schneider. I also must thank<br />

Bob Falls and all of our Artistic Associates for<br />

their inspiring and visionary leadership.<br />

We could not do what we do without the<br />

tremendous support of our audiences, donors<br />

and volunteers. Thank you. We hope you enjoyed<br />

the season as much as we did and we look forward<br />

to seeing you next year.<br />

From the<br />

Chairman<br />

Because of you, our “Decade on Dearborn”<br />

season was a smash!<br />

As Chairman of <strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong>, I am proud<br />

to share our Annual Report from the 2010/2011<br />

Season—our 10th year on Dearborn Street, and<br />

85th season overall— including the wonderful<br />

productions, artists and audiences who contributed<br />

to its success. To mark the occasion, Artistic<br />

Director Robert Falls and Executive Director<br />

Roche Schulfer delivered a signature nine-play<br />

line-up of a size and scope possible only at<br />

the <strong>Goodman</strong>.<br />

We launched the celebratory season in the<br />

“best of all possible” ways, with a bold new<br />

adaptation of Leonard Bernstein’s Candide from<br />

Tony Award winner and Manilow Resident<br />

Director Mary Zimmerman. Following its criticallyacclaimed<br />

extended run at the <strong>Goodman</strong>,<br />

Candide proceeded to delight audiences at<br />

Washington, DC’s Shakespeare <strong>Theatre</strong> Company,<br />

claiming numerous Jeff and Helen Hayes awards<br />

for excellence. Our Season Opening Celebration<br />

included a festive pre-show dinner at the Modern<br />

Wing of the Art Institute—the original site of<br />

<strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong>—and a special tribute to<br />

Founding Chairman Stanley Freehling and<br />

Honorary President Lewis Manilow. Without<br />

their contributions, the <strong>Goodman</strong> would not<br />

be where it is today.<br />

Robert Falls’ spellbinding interpretation of<br />

The Seagull opened next, followed by our<br />

33rd annual production of Charles Dickens’<br />

A Christmas Carol—a cherished holiday tradition<br />

whose magic has won the hearts of more than<br />

1 million Chicagoans over three decades.<br />

Five world-premiere productions in 2011<br />

contributed to the impressive statistics we’ve<br />

amassed over the past decade, including 16 world<br />

premieres by artists of color, 20 premieres by<br />

female writers and the completion of August<br />

Wilson’s 20th Century Cycle. The new year<br />

began with The Trinity River Plays, Regina Taylor’s<br />

lyrical triptych, and Thomas Bradshaw’s provocative<br />

Mary, followed by God of Carnage, a broad<br />

popular success, hot on the heels of its Broadway<br />

bow. Next, the <strong>Goodman</strong> was pleased to present<br />

Tanya Saracho’s moving El Nogalar, followed<br />

by Stage Kiss, the latest work from MacArthur<br />

Fellowship winner Sarah Ruhl. In addition,<br />

the world premiere of David Henry Hwang’s<br />

Broadway-bound Chinglish drew new audiences<br />

to the <strong>Goodman</strong>: more than one-third attended<br />

for the first time.<br />

To promote the <strong>Goodman</strong> during this exciting time<br />

we formed the 10th Anniversary Civic Committee,<br />

a diverse group of more than 65 corporate and<br />

civic leaders representative of Chicago’s multicultural<br />

landscape. Together they endorsed the<br />

Anniversary and helped to raise the <strong>Goodman</strong>’s<br />

visibility to an all-time high during the 2010/2011<br />

Season. Our ticket sales and fundraising goals<br />

also reflected this increased national interest,<br />

reaching all-time highs in many areas.<br />

With our inaugural August Wilson Awards, we<br />

recognized those who have demonstrated an<br />

exemplary commitment to advancing diversity at<br />

the theater: Life Trustees Peter C.B. Bynoe and<br />

María Bechily and Past Chairman Lester N.<br />

Coney, as well as JPMorgan Chase and The Joyce<br />

Foundation. We bestowed these awards at our<br />

fall Diversity Breakfast—a moving event in which<br />

we fondly remembered August Wilson as well as<br />

Irv Markin, whom we lost too soon.<br />

Aptly titled “One Enchanted Decade,” our May 21<br />

black-tie Gala event featured Broadway superstar<br />

and Glee heartthrob Matthew Morrison, who<br />

brought the crowd to its feet with a memorable<br />

program of song and dance. We paid tribute to all<br />

of the Past Chairmen of <strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong>’s Board<br />

of Directors, as well as our Honorary Chairman,<br />

Stephen Louis Grush and Mary Beth Fisher in The Seagull. Photo by Liz Lauren.

Albert <strong>Goodman</strong>. All proceeds from the <strong>Goodman</strong><br />

Gala, organized by the Woman’s Board, go to<br />

supporting our Education and Community<br />

Engagement programs, which are benchmarks for<br />

arts education across the country. “One Enchanted<br />

Decade” raised record-breaking amounts of<br />

support for our Student Subscription Series and<br />

General Theater Studies programs, as well as our<br />

other education initiatives.<br />

We have achieved so many milestones during<br />

the past decade in addition to the productions that<br />

light up our stages year after year. The <strong>Goodman</strong><br />

has provided 3,000 jobs, sold 2 million tickets,<br />

paid $38 million to living artists and offered<br />

4,500 performances over the past decade —<br />

reinforcing our position as the anchor of downtown’s<br />

Loop theater district. I would like to thank<br />

From the<br />

President of the<br />

Women’s Board<br />

The <strong>Goodman</strong>’s 2010/2011 Season included<br />

three exciting events planned and hosted by<br />

the <strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> Women’s Board, plus a<br />

very successful Women’s Board Annual Fund<br />

campaign led by Co-Chairs Linda Aylesworth<br />

and Mindy Berkson. In all, the Women’s Board<br />

projects raised $1.75 million for the theater. A<br />

portion of these funds was allocated to sponsor<br />

the world premiere production of Chinglish.<br />

On September 26 we launched the <strong>Goodman</strong>’s<br />

10th anniversary on Dearborn Street with a<br />

Season Opening Celebration featuring Candide,<br />

directed by Manilow Resident Director Mary<br />

Zimmerman. The festivities included cocktails and<br />

dinner at the Modern Wing of the Art Institute,<br />

a special tribute to Founding Chairman Stanley<br />

Freehling and Honorary President Lewis Manilow,<br />

and a performance of Candide at the <strong>Goodman</strong>.<br />

Special thanks goes to Co-Chairs Carol Prins and<br />

John Hart, Vicki and Bill Hood and Susan and Bob<br />

Wislow for their leadership of this wonderful event.<br />

The <strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> Vision<br />

<strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> is Chicago’s most established and largest not-for-profit theater,<br />

internationally renowned for the quality of its productions, the depth and diversity of its<br />

artistic leadership, and for its many community and educational programs. g The vision of<br />

the <strong>Goodman</strong> is to become the premier cultural organization in Chicago through productions<br />

and community programs that make an essential contribution to the quality of life in<br />

our society. g The <strong>Goodman</strong> has identified three institutional values that form the basis<br />

for the vision and objectives of <strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong>, and serve as guiding pillars for our<br />

productions and programming. These values are:<br />

Quality<br />

<strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> believes that live theater<br />

illuminates the past, informs the present and<br />

imagines the future. We seek to provide our<br />

audiences with the definitive theater experience.<br />

We strive to give our artists the resources that<br />

enable them to do the best possible work with<br />

the highest standards of excellence.<br />

Diversity<br />

<strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> believes that respect for<br />

diversity is a cornerstone of our community<br />

and our society. Our work features a variety<br />

of aesthetics, cultures and modes of theatrical<br />

expression. We are committed to promoting<br />

creativity, collaboration, artistic risk-taking,<br />

freedom of expression and cultural diversity.<br />

Community<br />

<strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> believes that live theater<br />

plays a unique role in the educational, social<br />

and economic development of a community.<br />

For example, theater develops cognitive skills,<br />

emotional growth and moral awareness, particularly<br />

in young people. Since the <strong>Goodman</strong> is a<br />

part of the community, we believe that we have a<br />

responsibility to improve the quality of life through<br />

our productions and educational programs.<br />

Company, Washington, DC<br />

Tony and MacArthur “Genius” Award–winning<br />

director Mary Zimmerman’s breathtaking new<br />

production of Candide was the theatrical event<br />

of the season. In addition to the music of<br />

Leonard Bernstein, Candide featured contributions<br />

from some of the greatest lyricists of the<br />

twentieth century. In this racy musical satire,<br />

naive Candide is banished for romancing the<br />

Baron’s daughter, only to be plagued by a<br />

series of absurd hardships that challenge his<br />

optimistic outlook on life and love.

A timeless holiday tradition, the <strong>Goodman</strong>’s<br />

production of A Christmas Carol celebrates the<br />

yuletide season by infusing Charles Dickens’<br />

classic tale with a little bit of magic, as only the<br />

<strong>Goodman</strong> can. From amazing flying ghosts to a<br />

quiet little boy and his crutch, A Christmas Carol<br />

is filled with enough singing, dancing and enchantment<br />

to rejuvenate even the most disheartened<br />

of souls. Audiences delighted as the cast helped<br />

transform the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge through<br />

the course of one very memorable Christmas Eve.<br />

A co-production with Dallas Theater Center<br />

In The Trinity River Plays (Jarfly, Rain and<br />

Ghoststory), Regina Taylor explores the unique<br />

passages in one woman’s life journey. In Jarfly, Iris<br />

is determined to go to college and become a writer,<br />

while her rebellious cousin Jasmine has dropped<br />

out of high school to follow a path of self-destruction.<br />

The cousins come to a crossroads when<br />

Jasmine draws Iris into the terrible secret she has<br />

been hiding since childhood. Rain was first seen as<br />

part of the <strong>Goodman</strong>’s 2009 New Stages Series.<br />

In the play, fiercely independent Iris has made a<br />

successful life for herself as a journalist in New<br />

York City — but when her marriage fails, she begins<br />

to unravel. In search of solace, Iris returns to her<br />

mother’s house in Texas, but her homecoming<br />

proves more confounding than consoling when her<br />

mother makes a shocking announcement. As<br />

long-buried family secrets come to light, Iris must<br />

face her past and make some difficult decisions<br />

about the future. In Ghoststory, Iris is surprised<br />

by a visit from her estranged husband, Frank,<br />

desperate for a reconciliation. But before this<br />

reconnection can be explored, she must confront<br />

and embrace the specters of her past that continue<br />

to haunt her present.<br />

The New Yorker called “ninety minutes of<br />

sustained mayhem.” God of Carnage earned the<br />

Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy<br />

life — or is it the other way around? When<br />

ex-lovers He and She are thrown together as<br />

romantic leads in an outrageously dreadful<br />

melodrama, they quickly lose touch with reality as<br />

Stage Kiss is a hilarious, off-beat fairy-tale about<br />

what happens when lovers share a stage kiss—<br />

or when actors share a real one.<br />

seemingly supportive government official who talks<br />

In an unprecedented artistic event, <strong>Goodman</strong><br />

<strong>Theatre</strong> invited Eastern Europe’s Belarus Free<br />

<strong>Theatre</strong> to Chicago for a limited engagement of<br />

Being Harold Pinter. Presented in partnership<br />

with Northwestern University, the League of<br />

Chicago <strong>Theatre</strong>s and Chicago Shakespeare<br />

Theater, Being Harold Pinter arrived in Chicago<br />

on the heels of its sold-out engagement at<br />

New York’s Under the Radar Festival— in which<br />

the Belarus Free <strong>Theatre</strong> participated after its<br />

members narrowly escaped imprisonment in<br />

their homeland in December 2010.<br />

Hailed as “truly passionate, truly political theater<br />

[that] isn’t just admirable, it has virtues beyond<br />

its relevance and bravery” (The New York Times),<br />

Being Harold Pinter incorporates transcripts from<br />

Belarusian political prisoners with excerpts from<br />

Nobel Prize–winning playwright Harold Pinter’s<br />

lifetime of writings. Belarus Free <strong>Theatre</strong> created<br />

visually striking images with simple means and<br />

underscores the fierceness of Pinter’s words with<br />

the intense physicality of the actors. Being Harold<br />

Pinter blurred the boundaries between art and<br />

reality, delivering a poignant contemporary<br />

commentary on violence, oppression, freedom<br />

and human dignity.<br />

A Heartfelt Tribute<br />

Richard M. and Maggie Daley<br />

Richard M. Daley, the longest serving mayor of Chicago, had a boundless enthusiasm<br />

for the arts which led to incredible feats including the revitalization of the North Loop<br />

<strong>Theatre</strong> District, the creation of Millennium Park and the building of <strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong>’s<br />

new home on Dearborn Street. Mayor Daley helped to arrange the donation of the<br />

Selwyn and Harris theaters, played a key role in securing funding for the new <strong>Goodman</strong><br />

<strong>Theatre</strong> and participated in several high-profile events during our capital campaign.<br />

At a re-dedication ceremony, which celebrated the <strong>Goodman</strong>’s first decade on Dearborn,<br />

the theater honored Mayor and Mrs. Daley for their substantial contributions to our<br />

organization. During the ceremony, the Daleys were named Honorary Life Trustees of<br />

<strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> and two seats in the Albert <strong>Theatre</strong> were dedicated to them, now<br />

commemorated with plaques bearing their names.<br />

(left to right) <strong>Goodman</strong> Trustees Les Coney, Patricia Cox, Richard Weisberg, Lewis Manilow<br />

and Sondra Healy with Maggie and Richard Daley.<br />

In Memoriam<br />

“[the theater] is a mirror…in a way, we get to face our<br />

personal triumphs and our calamities, our celebrations<br />

and our remembrances. the theater is a remarkable place<br />

and we’re all very fortunate to have it in our life here in<br />

this wonderful space.”<br />

Maggie Daley at the November 2010<br />

Re-dedication of the new <strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong><br />

g<br />

All of us at the <strong>Goodman</strong><br />

mourn the loss of Maggie<br />

Daley, whose love of<br />

education and the arts<br />

helped transform Chicago<br />

into a vibrant place to live<br />

and work.<br />

The first civic organization that Mrs. Daley became<br />

involved with was the city’s Cultural Center, the<br />

old central library that she helped remake into a<br />

centerpiece for culture in Chicago. In 1991 she<br />

founded Gallery 37, a program to promote arts<br />

training and jobs for Chicago youth. This initiative<br />

evolved into After School Matters, a not-for-profit<br />

program to provide teens with educational and<br />

career-oriented activities in such areas as sports<br />

and technology. Mrs. Daley also helped put a<br />

positive face on metastatic breast cancer, which<br />

can often be an isolating experience, by living with<br />

it publicly for nine years.<br />

Her dignity and passion inspired countless people<br />

who continue to champion her favorite charities.<br />

She will be remembered for her graciousness, her<br />

concern for children’s welfare and education, and<br />

her love for our city throughout her 22 years as<br />

the first lady of Chicago. She will be missed.

In Memoriam<br />

During the 2010/2011 Season, the <strong>Goodman</strong> lost dear friends from among its major boards<br />

and their families. They are missed by all.<br />

Deborah Beitler<br />

Deborah Beitler was a warm and energetic<br />

member of the <strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> Women’s<br />

Board, where she held a variety of leadership<br />

roles. After joining in 2003, Debbie took on<br />

an array of responsibilities including serving as<br />

co-chair of the Season Opening Benefit featuring<br />

Purlie, co-chairing the Menu Committee for<br />

the <strong>Goodman</strong>’s annual Gala and playing an<br />

instrumental role in reviving and adapting the<br />

Women’s Board bylaws. No matter the project,<br />

Debbie performed each task with enthusiasm.<br />

In addition to her involvement on the Women’s<br />

Board, Debbie and her husband, Stephen, were<br />

longtime Subscribers and Premiere Society<br />

Donors, providing generous support for <strong>Goodman</strong><br />

Education and Community Engagement programs<br />

and productions throughout the years.<br />

Debbie was also very active on the Women’s<br />

Boards of other Chicago institutions including<br />

the Joffrey Ballet and Ravinia Festival. She was<br />

a great leader in the Chicagoland philanthropic<br />

community and will be missed.<br />

Joan M. Freehling<br />

Joan was a civic leader and patron of the arts<br />

who shared her husband’s commitment to civic<br />

and philanthropic causes. With her husband,<br />

Stanley Freehling, the Founding Chairman of the<br />

<strong>Goodman</strong>, she launched the <strong>Goodman</strong>’s journey<br />

to becoming a cherished Chicago institution.<br />

Joan served on the <strong>Goodman</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> Women’s<br />

Board for 33 years. She was a member of the<br />

Women’s Board Executive Committee, a Planning<br />

Chair for the inaugural festivities of the capital<br />

campaign for the new <strong>Goodman</strong>, co-chaired<br />

The Gospel at Colonus Gala and worked on<br />

numerous other projects including the Women’s<br />

Board annual appeal campaign, fashion show,<br />

banner and Gala ad book. She brought thorough<br />

and detailed planning to each of her tasks and<br />

had the ability to inspire her colleagues.<br />

Joan also served on boards of the Art Institute<br />

of Chicago, University of Chicago, Northwestern<br />

University, the Cradle and the Rehabilitation<br />

Institute, and was a Life Trustee of Ravinia<br />

Festival. She was a graduate of New Trier<br />

Township High School and attended Scripps<br />

College in Claremont, California.<br />

William W. McKittrick<br />

Beloved husband of Life Trustee and Women’s<br />

Board member Carolyn McKittrick and great<br />

friend to the <strong>Goodman</strong>, Bill had a distinguished<br />

career in law and was a life long patron of the<br />

arts and learning. He served on active duty during<br />

World War II and was a founding partner of the<br />

firm Vedder, Price, Kaufman & Kammholz. He<br />

was a member of the undefeated 1933 football<br />

team at DePauw University, where he received an<br />

undergraduate degree. He received his JD from<br />

Northwestern University School of Law.<br />

Bill gave substantially of both his time and<br />

resources to numerous civic organizations,<br />

including the Art Institute of Chicago (for which<br />

he also served on numerous service committees),<br />

the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Chicago<br />

Symphony Orchestra (Life Trustee), the Newberry<br />

Library (Life Trustee), Northwestern University<br />

and the Caxton Club (former President).<br />

Throughout his 68-year marriage to Carolyn,<br />

Bill was incredibly supportive of her endeavors<br />

and passions, including the <strong>Goodman</strong>.
