Created in 1991 on a vacant
downtown lot known as Block 37, Gallery 37 is a space for the Chicago’s youth
to practice art, to work with and be mentored by professional artists.
Currently run by the not-for-profit After School Matters, it is a program
created by Chicago's Department of Cultural Affairs' Lois Weisberg and late Maggie
Daley, wife of the city's former mayor, Richard M. Daley. Currently, the space
features a show called TWENTY – a cabaret of songs, scenes and dances from 20
popular Broadway shows – performed by young and very talented “Triple Threats”,
i.e. teens who can act, dance and, boy can they, sing!
There are eight shows
left:
Monday August 6 – 12 noon and 7 pm,
Tuesday August 7 – 12 noon and 7 pm,
Wednesday
August 8 – 12 noon and 7 pm, and
