Sometimes a new theater company emerges from the ensemble created for one of our productions. These are a few of those companies.
Fury Theatre Company was born from our production of Comeddy of Errorrrs in 2009!
Signal Ensemble Theatre was born from our productions of Hamlet in 2002 and Life Is A Dream in 2003. In Fall 2006, Signal founder Christopher Prentice (who played the Melancholy Dane) returned to play Macbeth!
Thunder and Lightning Ensemble was born from our production of Twelfth Night in 2004.
Revolution Theatre Company was born just after our production of Summer Brave in 2001.
Gone, but not forgotten. These companies were our friends. Live theater is evanescent...

King Lear
Cordelia, Cordelia, stay a little. Ha:
What is't thou say'st? Her voice was ever soft,
Gentle, and low, an excellent thing in woman.
I kill'd the serf that was a-hanging thee.
Captain
'Tis true, my lords, he did.
King Lear
Did I not, fellow?
I have seen the day, with my good biting Falchion
I would have made them skip: I am old now,
And these same crosses spoil me.
We were awarded the 2007
Award of Excellence for the Community Theatre Division of the Illinois Theatre Association! We are honored to be recognized by this statewide award!
BABES WITH BLADES joined us with an Arts Partnership. They did most of our fight choreography. Many thanks to
the Babes and we wish them all the best in their continued operations!
