Steppenwolf Theatre Company Blog – Chicago Theater, World-Class Ensemble

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Black Theatre Alliance Awards at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago. Pictured with me from l. to r. are actress Ora Jones, Steppenwolf Donor Steward Coordinator, Colette Gregory, and actress Penelope Walker. Penelope last appeared at Steppenwolf in Love-Lies- Bleeding. Ora Jones was nominated for her work in the Steppenwolf production of The Unmentionables as was Kenn E. Head. Jon Hill also appeared in that production and was nominated as Most Promising Newcomer. In addition, Cedric Young was nominated for his work in the Steppenwolf for Young Adults production of “MASTER HAROLD”…and the boys. Steppenwolf is proud to have had these accomplished actors on our stage and we congratulate them on their artistry, performances, and nominations.

The evening was a strong tribute to the extraordinary Chicago community of African American theatre artists, to their art, and to the American Theatre.
