If you had a chance to build a new home for creativity,
entertainment, and community hijinks, what would it contain?
Theater Wit has been thinking about that question since its beginning, knowing its future depended on not only answering it, but making it happen. Because of your support over the past few years, we have the possibility of that future and you have a new home to experience the best of Chicago storefront theater. In the first year alone, 19 incredible multi-disciplinary arts organizations are telling their stories for youth and adults in our three spaces. Since we officially opened Theater Wit on September 1st, the building has been hopping, with up to eight performances a day happening in all three spaces. I spent last Saturday here and it was a positive joy to see the building so active: four theaters held classes, auditions, one technical rehearsal, five performances, and one birthday party over a period of 14 hours. The staff was wiped out but really excited; you can really feel the theatre becoming a center for the community.
