When Chicago Live! wrapped up its spring season on June 28, the Chicago Tribune confidently assured readers that the series of weekly stage
shows would be “returning for another eight-week season in the fall.” Its website still says so. But that won’t be happening after all.
Instead, Chicago Live! is being cut back to perhaps as few as four times a year and folded into Press Pass, the Tribune’s catchall series of
newsroom special events that includes Cooking with Kass (at which columnist John Kass roasts a pig and talks about politics), discussions of
investigative reports, critics’ interviews of artists, and programs featuring sports columnists and writers.
