Rebecca Gilman Joins Goodman's Artistic Collective

Robert Falls proudly names his longtime artistic collaborator Rebecca Gilman to Goodman Theatre's Artistic Collective, a diverse group of outstanding American theater artists who make the Goodman their artistic home.

Gilman, who has the "ability to shake up a theater audience with the power of her ideas#&#8212and words" (Chicago Tribune) and whose work "reaches the heart and head with equal force" (Time) joins Actor Brian Dennehy; Director/Actor Henry Godinez; Director Steve Scott; Director Chuck Smith; Playwright/Director/Actor ReGina Taylor; and Director Mary Zimmerman as part of the Goodman's ongoing mission to keep its work fresh, relevant and engaging in contemporary American theater. After 24 years, original Collective member Frank Galati has rotated off as artistic associate, continuing the evolution of this diverse, driven group of artists.

"I am so fortunate for the relationship I have with the Goodman," said Gilman. "The support and resources that this theater offers are unparalleled to anything else I have experienced in my career. To join Bob Falls and the other artists of the Artistic Collective is a true honor."
