If you’ve ever been in Lincoln Park, waiting near Alcott Elementary School or cutting through a residential side street going from The Wiener’s Circle to Kingston Mines, maybe you’ve noticed some art banners on a fence.

Wrightwood Ave., on the south side of the street between Orchard and Clark streets.

Amazingly for some who remember the old railyard east of Michigan Avenue like it was yesterday, the Harris Theater for Music & Dance celebrates its 20th birthday this season. In some ways, the venue at the north end of Millennium Park feels like it's still new; in others, it's hard to imagine there was a time when Chicago didn't have it. Some of the newness comes from the churn of companies using the Harris stage.
