Court Theatre Needs Your Support

Since Court’s founding in 1955 at the University of Chicago, our work has been inspired by the belief that classic theatre illuminates the stories and themes that are timely and timeless. Each one of our provocative productions has guided our artists and audiences on an exploration into the vast human consciousness, and has created a timeline that connects our present to the past. Theatre, and classic theatre in particular, gives us insight into the past, understanding of our present, and directs us towards our future. With your generous support, Court Theatre can continue to be Chicago’s foremost producer of both rarely performed and re-imagined texts, as well as continue to keep ticket prices affordable without sacrificing our high artistic standards.
