Montrose Beach Cleanup
On September 18th, 2008, Rubicon Theatre Project ensemble members helped the environment by cleaning up Foster Avenue Beach with the Alliance For The Great Lakes. We value our lakefront greenspace, and we want to make sure Chicagoans can enjoy it for years and years to come. Please check out greatlakes.org for more information.
Waupaca Arts Festival
We created something we’ve dubbed a “living art installation” at the Waupaca Arts Festival in Waupaca, WI. Over 24 hours, we inhabited a space on Main Street. From 5pm to 5pm, we simply existed in this space. We took with us nothing but craft materials, raw materials, writing utensils, wood, and various other means to create with. Over the 24 hours, and following the art movements of Dada and Surrealism, we attempted to make sense of the trash and refuse around us. Sometimes it made sense to us and the passers by around us; sometimes it didn’t. It uncannily resembled the world in which we currently live: trying to make sense out of nothing, out of refuse, out of garbage. War, high gas prices, mortgage crises, home foreclosures, and the threat of the next Depression with the possible fall of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Through the humility we experienced with the “locals” continually asking “what are you doing?” and “what is this thing?” we realized that sometimes life doesn’t make sense and sometimes we simply don’t have the answers, but we keep going anyway and never give up.

Theatre, Improv and Artistic Community Gala at The Spot
Colleen E. Miller, Michele Gorman and Bridget Fallen headed down to The Spot on July 10, 2008 to set up a booth and show Rubicon pride at the first annual Theatre, Improv, and Artistic Community gala. The event allowed selected theatres to have an area of the bar where they could advertise, promote and discuss their company. The night also included a balloon artist and a few short performances from invited theatre companies. For more information on The Spot, please visit spotchicago.com.
