Earlier this year, Tracy Letts became the first Chicago playwright to win the Pulitzer Prize for a drama that debuted here in town. It was a major achievement on its own, but also the latest act in Chicago's storied stage history. Join critic Todd Bauer for All Chicago's a Stage, an in-depth look at the premier playwriting and stagecraft our city has offered over the past several decades. From Sam Shepard's thorny family dramas to David Mamet's alpha-male dogfights and beyond, see why the well of excellent local dramaturgy runs so deep.
