The Call Sheet First Edition: Vol 1 - Healing Through Art FROM THE EDITORS: Aristotle thought of performance as a form of catharsis, or the purging of the humors. We believe that there is truth to this philosophy. In the inaugural issue of THE CALL SHEET, we chose to explore what healing means through the creation of art. It’s been truly such a pleasure working alongside the skillful contributors and artists that poured their hearts into this magazine. Through our collective effort, we hope that you too can see the staggering level of cinematic talent pouring out of our beloved Windy City through our first issue’s theme: Healing Through Art.
