A theatrical hub for the city of Chicago for over a century, Hull-House played a pivotal role in the development of community theatre, the Little Theatre movement, Improv, and Chicago’s iconic non-profit theatre scene. Taking its name from the epigraph emblazoned above the original Hull-House stage, the festival Act Well Your Part, There All the Honor Lies reframes contemporary Chicago theatre as an essential part of the city’s civic fabric.
The Hull-House Theater and the Act Well Your Part festival both needed identities that could work together and highlight the many performances and workshops that would be featured. The identity embraces the length of the festival name and draws inspiration from theater marquees, using a ribbon system that runs across programs, social media, and even the building itself. Color is used minimally to highlight the performances in the programs.
