September Love Letter

Chicago weather can be incredibly unpredictable in autumn. On those drab days, we can’t think of a better way to enjoy the ‘Second City’ than a day (or night) at the theatre.

Located in the sleek Lincoln Park neighborhood, the Steppenwolf Theater has launched the careers of some of Hollywood’s most accomplished actors, including John Malkovich and Gary Sinise, who helped found the theater in 1974. Since then, the Steppenwolf has staged everything from Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead to Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie. Enjoy dinner at one of the many restaurants in the area before taking in this month’s feature, Lisa D’Amour’s Detroit. (steppenwolf.org).

If it’s authentic Broadway you’re looking for, Broadway in Chicago features an eclectic mix of productions on six stages located throughout Chicago’s bustling Theater District. Whether it’s the whimsical story of Shrek or the heart-warming, energetic dance-a-thon of Billy Elliot, there’s a show for any taste (broadwayinchicago.com).

For a more intimate theater experience, the Looking Glass Theater offers smaller-scale, ensemble productions. Located in a historic Water Tower building, the shows tend to be community productions, involving up-and-coming performers and directors (lookingglasstheatre.org).

CHICAGO (2010/11):
James Goeke (Events Planner)

James Goeke In 2003, James Goeke left his roots in Missouri to put his degree in Mass Marketing to work in the Windy City. He now graces Chicago with his Southern charm as the go-to Special Events Planner.

For the past three years, Goeke has spearheaded the design of the must-attend social events throughout the city. He’s worked closely with premiere city publications—Time Out Chicago, CS Magazine—as well as fashion moguls and hotels to orchestrate exquisite events that make the heart of the social scene beat at full rate. His knack for throwing parties has always been a passion, and his ability to create the perfect party is a natural consequence of knowing what works. “There's nothing like the electricity in the air of a really great event. The most important element is making the guests understand why they are there,” says Goeke.

Many of his endeavors are philanthropic, and the one closest to his heart is Vital Bridges, an organization that provides nutritious meals to low-income men, women, and children living with HIV in the Chicago area. Goeke co-founded the junior auxiliary board that dovetails with the youth generation’s interest in helping raise money for the project. He created “Vital Nights,” a series of happy hours for young professionals that has helped raise about $25,000 in the last year. He believes that what makes Chicago stand out from other metropolitan areas is its Midwestern core values. As he puts it, “Collectively, the people of Chicago have great hearts and an intrinsic need to give back to society.”

Recently nominated for “One Man Chicago,” an award dedicated to career- and charity-focused men, Goeke is one of the most successful faces of the burgeoning Chicago scene.
