Mission Statement:

Strangeloop Theatre examines the theatricality in life and art, and explores the relationship between the story and the telling.

A little history:

Though we officially incorporated as Strangeloop Theatre in October of 2008, it was in the early part of that year that a core group of us started meeting up to discuss creating a theatre company we could call home. In June of 2008, we did a one-night staging of Welcome to the Moon (and other plays) by John Patrick Shanley as our first performance, because we could do a collection of short pieces using multiple directors and actors within the group. It was a wonderful first endeavor and helped to further strengthen a sense of community within the group.

That sense of community helped us to grow over the course of our first two years- staging work that allows a number of voices to participate in the theatrical process. In addition to producing strong work by well-known playwrights, such as Brian Friel’s Living Quarters, we have also shown a commitment to working with theatre artists of every discipline in the creation of new and original work, including our world-premiere adaptation of Ferdinand Raimund’s The Millionaire Farmer, our holiday cabaret shows and our short play workshop series, “Loopshop”.

We’ve learned a lot in our time together and truly appreciate all of the support of the Chicago theatre community, both our fellow artists and the wonderful audiences who continue to support live theatre. We hope you will stay tuned as we will have plenty more in store for you!
