<p>I am going to be in the Chicago area next weekend and I wondered since they have great theatre - is there a bookshop similar to the one in NYC anywhere in Chicago? I have my monologues already together for auditions but would love to look around for more. If there is a really good one anyone could recommend that would be great. Thanks!</p>
<p>I can’t vouch for any of these personally, but it’s a good list to start with. </p>

<p>The Harold Washington Library has a Performing Arts resource library in it as does Roosevelt University (CCPA). They are both located in the South Loop within a block or two of each other. Good chance to look around CCPA, too!</p>
<p>For those touring Northwestern during Unifieds (about 40 minutes on the Purple Express El train on weekdays, Red line to Purple line on weekends) they have a great collection of scripts, but I’m guessing you might need to know someone to access their library. You could call ahead to find out.</p>
<p>I keep hearing awesome things about the musical theater library at CCPA. It’s like a candy store, apparently…my son needs another 8G on his iPod.</p>
