Nov. 07--Beginning Friday, Nov. 7, The Theater Loop with Chris Jones will become part of the premium digitalPLUS tier of ChicagoTribune.com.
If you're already a digitalPLUS subscriber, you'll continue to have unlimited access to all of The Theater Loop's exclusive content, including our definitive reviews of theater, dance and comedy; our newly expanded Broadway and international coverage; our columns analyzing all aspects of the performing arts in Chicago; our easy-to-find recommendations and listings; and, of course, our suite of showcase videos shot here at Tribune Tower. Every few days, we have new live performances from your favorite artists and some of the best comedy videos you'll find anywhere -- and our emphasis is on Chicago talent.
Plus -- on a topic dear to my heart -- you'll get all the breaking news. First.
If you are not already a subscriber, you'll be asked to register by providing your email address when you come to the site. You'll still be able to access five stories a month for free. After those five, you'll be offered the opportunity to subscribe. Once you subscribe, you'll have access to everything the Tribune delivers online, including daily access to the digital copy of the Chicago Tribune.
For a limited time, the Tribune is offering loyal Theater Loop readers a special, 52-week deal for $99 ($30 off the regular discounted price). Click THEATER LOOP SUBSCRIPTION SPECIAL for more details. You also can sign up for four weeks at the introductory price of 99 cents. Either option provides unlimited access to everything on The Theater Loop and ChicagoTribune.com.
Our social-media links from Twitter and Facebook will remain free and accessible, though your browser settings may affect access. Aside from following me on Twitter at @ChrisJonesTrib, you may also want to follow our new feed, @theaterloop, which will Tweet everything on the site to you. You can also sign up for our Theater Loop newsletter, which will allow access to highlighted content each week.
We really appreciate all our fans of this site -- which has become a hugely popular destination, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors each month. We do all we can to make it an essential part of your day, and plan many new features. If you take advantage of our special deals, you won't miss a thing.
