Less than a week after a series of Chicago Reader articles alleged that sexual, psychological, and physical abuse regularly occurred behind the scenes and on-stage at Profiles Theatre, Profiles announced on its Facebook page tonight that it is closing, immediately and permanently.
We usually don't like to see Uptown businesses go belly-up, but the pattern of behavior by the two artistic directors and the "non-apology apology" issued by one of them last Friday made it impossible to see any other end to this saga.

Congratulations to Christopher Piatt (founder and performer in Paper Machete) and Aimee Levitt for a well-researched and powerful series of investigative articles.
