THE BEAUTIFUL CITY PROJECT
is committed to using musical theatre as a tool to give back to the Chicago community, intent on building a promising tomorrow for a beautiful city.

A city-wide campaign of beautification and positivity will be the hallmark of a project intent on taking real action in our beautiful city.
