Free Street Theater

Theater: The Organization works with people across Chicago to create an original ensemble performance that tells the complicated stories of the City. The Organization creates 6-8 shows per year that are performed in Pulaski Park, Back Of The Yards, public parks And community centers. These shows are made by resident ensembles or artists-in-residence through the in-house program.

Community Engagement: The Organization offers a wide range of workshops, classes and training for people of all ages to develop their skills as artists and change-makers. The Organization offers these workshops for free at community centers or in homes in Pulaski Park and Back Of The Yards. Located at 43rd and Ashland in Chicago, the Organization offers its Storyfront as a hub for performance, cultural events and community storytelling. The Organization also specializes in bringing people together to discuss difficult issues in fun, complicated and deeply human ways through Free Street Talk.
