We've spent the last decade doing what most won't: taking risks on new artists.
We're the only theatre company in Chicago dedicated to staffing half of every production with new artists. New to the city, new to the craft, or new to us — we hold the door open.
We believe in that mission so hard we're willing to double down.
Ten years in, we're producing our first two-show season, and it's one you don't want to miss.
Lady Windermere's Fan by Oscar Wilde
Directed by Jen Sloan · January 15–30, 2027 · Theatre Wit
A vision that will leave you hungry for more.
Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare
Directed by Artistic Director Anna Rachel Troy · Fall 2027
A bold take on Shakespeare's dirtiest play.
This is the season you've been begging for.
And while we know it isn't ladylike to talk money — looking this good doesn't come cheap. Our total budget this year is $40,000, and we're taking a big bite out of it this fundraiser with a goal of $15,000 by Giving Tuesday, December 1.
