What they say
One of the industry leaders said that Corsak's efforts helped to push Chicago to one of the three best cities in the world for theater pioneers.
“Chicago was considered a busy city and trucks,” said Le Rizen, President and CEO of Broadway in Chicago. “The shows were few and far away. It was basically a subscription and the participation in the Chopurt Theater, and now, we are the third most important city in the world for the commercial theater behind New York and London. And Margai was with us, along with our side where we have formed this space in the theatrical world.”
Chicago Tribune stated that Corsak died on Sunday morning after kidney failure and other diseases. She was an uncomfortable hero for her customers and did not take “no” for an answer, but at the same time, she was loved.
Despite the death of Korshak, its effect will feel the theater scene in Chicago for decades.
