The Illinois Theatre Center (ITC) is a theater in the southern Chicago suburb of Park Forest which began operation in 1976. In 1999, ITC moved to a state-of-the-art facility[1] in downtown Park Forest, Illinois from their previous location in the basement of the Park Forest Public Library. Critical acclaim and audience support continues to grow for this Actor's Equity company.[2]
ITC was founded in 1976 by Steve and Etel Billig as the first Actor's Equity professional theater in the far South Suburbs of the Chicago metropolitan area.[3]
In addition to its Mainstage series of six plays, ITC offers a Script-in-Hand series of play readings, a free summer outdoor Shakespeare production, and a Summerfest musical. The ITC Drama School offers several classes for adults, teens and children, as well as a summer arts camp, Project S.A.M. (Summer Arts Marathon).
The Illinois Theatre Center is a constituent of the Theatre Communications Group—the national organization of non-profit theatres.[4] ITC is also a member of several other theater groups.[5]
