Hello Beautiful!

About | Hello! Fellow | The Curated Series | Archive | Contact

For one night in May, Chicago's Loop is going to resemble a slice of European nightlife. This week Hello Beautiful! gives you a sneak preview of the all-night festival, Looptopia.

Our Hello! Fellow this week is Ty Tabing. He's the executive director of the Chicago Loop Alliance and the creative mind behind Looptopia. He's also served for the Greater State Street Council and the City of Chicago's Department of Planning.

Plus hear stories on eccentric boat riders drifting down the Chicago river, how to compose music for Shakespeare, and the return of Theater Oobleck's The Strangerer.


Act 1: Guerilla Flotilla

Act 2: The Music of the Bard

Act 3: The Strangerer

Mickle Maher's play The Strangerer explores Camus' existentialism and the first Bush/Kerry presidential debate of 2004.
