You may have heard we beat Texas last month as the home of FutureGen, a new power plant that will attempt to burn coal without emitting global warming gases. This is great news for a small town in central Illinois and for all of us who know we need new ways to make electricity that don’t hasten end times.

Many people are very surprised to learn that the $1.6 million theatre we occupy at the Chicago Temple Building has been built by funding provided primarily by First United Methodist Church. Not only that, the Church is also donating the theatre space --meaning we don't pay rent for this stunning and intimate downtown theatre venue.
