The Young Actors’ Program

Beginning in 2007, we initiated a series of literature-based productions by, for, and about young people.  Play selection is done by the ensemble, in consultation with director Karen Fort.  These are fully staged, full productions.  The script is edited to a practical and accomplishable length and cast size.  All performances are open to the public, and we encourage participation by youth age 10+, with a special focus on teens and High School age youth.  Call Karen for more information at 312-742-4701. 


Most recent project:

LITTLE WOMEN! (late Spring 2008)
