Comments:

Writers Theatre was founded to explore productions in which the word on the page, and the artists that bring the word to life hold primary importance. Central to the mission are three important core values: valuing text, both classic and contemporary, as the fundamental source of inspiration; creating deliberately intimate performances where audiences are face-to-face with powerful stories; and honoring the time and commitment of artists by remaining at the forefront of industry compensation.

With a reputation for consistent artistic excellence, innovative educational programming, and strong ties to the community, Writers Theatre has built an award-winning repertoire and serves as a vital and highly regarded company in the Chicago theatre community.
