Lifeline Theatre was founded in Chicago, Illinois, United States, in 1983 by four Northwestern University graduates. The company moved into its permanent home in Rogers Park--a converted Commonwealth Edison substation--in 1986. The facility includes a 99-seat theatre, rehearsal and office space, a scene shop, and costume, prop, and scenery storage.
Lifeline Theatre and its artistic ensemble of writers, directors, designers and performers collaboratively develop literary adaptations and original theater. Lifeline serves 25,000 people each season running from September through August with a 3-play MainStage Season and a 3-play KidSeries season. Lifeline's Student Matinee Program serves 5,000 students each year through special weekday performances and extensive study guides.
