Chicago Public Library is proud to become the new home for recordings created by the Chicago Film Archive of Performance (C-FAP). Founded by Drew Blau in 2013, C-FAP is committed to filming live performance in order to document and preserve Chicago's rich theater community.
C-FAP has preserved 18 productions already, and plans to film a total of 40 productions by the end of the year. This growing collection will be archived at Harold Washington Library Center in Special Collections and will be available for viewing in the Special Collections Reading Room.
C-FAP joins the award-winning Chicago Theater Collection, an archive comprised of more than 75 individual collections representing theaters, actors, playwrights, designers and others spanning more than 150 years of the city's dynamic theatrical story.
Join CPL and C-FAP on Thursday, May 26 at Harold Washington Library Center for A Snapshot of the Jungle to help launch this exciting new addition to our collections.
