Things to Do in Chicago | 2/12/2013 | Concierge Picks | Chicago Travel
Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, playing at the Lookingglass Theatre, is a necessary piece of theatre written by Rajiv Joseph. Set in war torn Baghdad at a bombed out zoo this play explores the idea of cause and effect, taking an unflinching, even uncomfortable look at 2 U.S. marines, an Iraqi translator, and a dead but still pissed off Bengal tiger as they question life's purpose, each other, and the emotional impact of choices they have made, and of the power that comes from having a purpose! Bengal Tiger is perfectly cast and smartly written with a razor sharp wit. Look i loved everything about this play. It is said that art is not made to tell you what to think, simply to think! ... See Bengal tiger, and think you will!

SUMMARY
=======
Black Ensemble Theater Company is a theatre company that has performed at the Black Ensemble Theater in the Uptown community area of Chicago, Illinois. The company is known for productions related to African-American culture, especially musicals depicting notable African-American musicians and performers. The company is a significant contributor to Chicago's emergence as a Theater Town, and its theater has been selected as one of the 25 top major theaters in the country by the Encyclopædia Britannica Almanac.The company performed in the Black Ensemble Theater at 4520 North Beacon Street until it opened a new state of the art 50,000-square-foot (4,600 m2) Black Ensemble Cultural Center at 4450 N. Clark Street, on November 18, 2011. The company raised 20M dollar to build the new theater which is also in Uptown. The new Black Ensemble Theater Cultural Center was designed by Morris Architects Planners, who has previously designed Steppenwolf, Lookingglass, and Playhouse on the Square. The new theater is being located in a former warehouse that cost US$3.5 million to purchase and many times more than that to renovate. Approximately $20 million is being raised to fund the construction of the new theater.Among the recent productions are musicals celebrating Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Jackie Wilson, Billie Holiday, Dionne Warwick, Teddy Pendergrass and Stax Records. The production I Am Who I Am (The Story of Teddy Pendergrass) that opened on March 15, 2008, was extended through the end of 2008. The company has a history of presenting as many as a half-dozen productions a year since opening in 1976. The theater's productions have been critically recognized. Some have had lengthy multiple-year runs and national tours such as The Jackie Wilson Story, which was the first traveling production of the Black Ensemble Touring Venture and which played for four weeks at the Apollo Theater. The theater company has also traveled nationally to perform to festivals.The group's more than one hundred performances have been produced by its founder, Jackie Taylor, since 1976. When producing musical biographies, Taylor uses a formula of including at least eighteen of the artist's hits, some high points and low points in the artist's career, at least one climactic moment of chaos and an uplifting ending, which is the most important element.

Biography:
Trained as a lawyer, Pramaggiore joined ComEd's legal team in 1998, recognizing the opportunity to make an impact in what was essentially the last regulated industry to undergo restructuring.

In 2007, after months of debate and negotiation, Pramaggiore helped strike an accord that provided Illinois residents with $1 billion in rate relief, while preserving the state's competitive electricity market and protecting ComEd from potential bankruptcy.
Prior to her current position, Pramaggiore served as executive vice president of Customer Operations, Regulatory and External Affairs. In that role, Pramaggiore oversaw distribution and transmission rate making, customer operations and state regulatory affairs and strategy for ComEd. Additional responsibilities included the administration of environmental stewardship activities designed to promote customer satisfaction.
Pramaggiore was promoted to her current position in May 2009. She is the first female to hold the post of president and the highest-ranking woman at the electric utility.
Pramaggiore serves as a board member of the Lookingglass Theatre, the Financial Research Institute and the Lincoln Park Zoo, and is a member of the Art Institute of Chicago's Committee on Conservation and the Committee on Museum Education. She also is a member of The Chicago Network, an organization of diverse female professionals in Chicagoland dedicated to the advancement of women.
