Writers Theatre, acclaimed by The Wall Street Journal as "America's No. 1 Theatre Company," has entertained Chicago and the North Shore for 30 years with inventive interpretations of classic work and a bold approach to contemporary theatre, bringing audiences face-to-face with powerful stories by creating the most intimate theatrical experience possible. With a reputation for excellence, innovative educational programming and strong ties to the community, Writers Theatre serves as a vital and highly regarded part of the Chicago theatre community.
In February 2016, Writers Theatre opened a new, state-of-the-art facility. This established the company's first permanent home in a new theatre center in downtown Glencoe, Illinois, designed by the award-winning, internationally renowned Studio Gang Architects. The new facility has allowed the Theatre to continue to grow to accommodate its audience, while maintaining its trademark intimacy.
