Goldstar reviews from the public:

The City of Chicago has announced on 9/17/18 that 2019 would be The Year of Chicago Theatre.  The city with the co-operation of the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events as well as the League of Chicago Theatres will promote the city as a theatre center on a local, national and international level.  Included in this promotion will be $200,000 in local grants, free performances, exhibitions, pop-up performances and the participation of over 200 theatre companies based in Chicago.  While Chicago has no major equivalent to a Broadway or West End theatre district it does have many downtown, Loop, neighborhood and storefront theatres which can benefit from this promotion.   (Note:  The Loop Theatre district does have 8 houses that are often occupied but this is mostly imported Broadway and other national and international productions.)

Yes.  Chicago theatres have been known to dim their lights regarding the death of a local actor or theatre professional.  I assume they will on this occasion.
