I was looking up an old favorite theatre company in chicago. I geuss they are not really that old as they had only produced a handful of work. The work, however, was amazingly done and compelling.
Big Picture Group
As I visited the site i realized I could not tell if they were still functioning or not. There are no years attached to the dates on thier "up coming" performance. I know that some of the faces on their staff page have moved on since then. So where do websites go when companies fade out. Do they linger in cyberspace as they linger in our minds?
Another company this brings to mind is Blue Forms Theatre Group. I could not find their website but I did find this article in American Theatre. Now this company is gone, however the genius behind their evolution is still kicking it in Columbus Ohio. His newest company Availible Light Theatre is making huge waves as well.
Maybe its in the name. Companies ending with the name "Group". Actually that is it exactly. This "Groups" are formed by collaborative artists work together, and as time moves forward and life gets in the way, partners fade out and the group shortly follows. Unless your Wooster.
