Founded in 2003, their productions have garnered numerous critical raves (including Top-Ten production assignations from the Chicago Tribune, and Time Out Chicago), and have been favored with Joseph Jefferson Award recommendations and citations for several productions.
Their mission pledges to create theatre that incorporates the arts as a whole -- Art for art’s sake, while their artistic goal involves challenging convention through literary originality and eclectic expression while fostering an ever-evolving artistic environment in which people are inspired to learn, think, dream, and feel. Additionally, to teach themselves and others how to expand, create, and present art through theatre while reveling not only in the process, but also in the journey.
Noted productions include critically acclaimed The Wild Party by Andrew Lippa, SideShow by Bill Russell and Henry Krieger, and Sophocles' Electra. Their recent production of Songs for a New World by Jason Robert Brown, played to sold-out houses, received much critical acclaim, and was chosen as the Chicago Tribune's "Hottest Ticket."
