Reality TV dominated 2000, providing some of its best shows (see No. 1) and ickiest lows (remember Rick Rockwell?).

Under artistic director Robert Falls, it has boosted the careers of such playwrights as Mary Zimmerman (The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci) and Rebecca Gilman (Spinning into Butter), and presented landmark revivals such as the 1999 Tony Award-winning Death of a Salesman, starring Brian Dennehy. This fall the Goodman rewards itself with a new home, a 170,000-sq.-ft., two-stage theater complex in downtown Chicago. Its inaugural production, King Hedley II, eighth in August...
