Shattered Globe Theatre - Under Construction

Shattered Globe Theatre is a familiar friend. A friend who sometimes hangs around, provides comfort and makes you laugh, and at other times lurks around the corner and dares you to move from one place to another. Producing award winning storefront style theater in Chicago for almost 20 years is a remarkable achievement. As theater companies mature, they often grow beyond their original message - leaving little of what made them great in the wake of their path forward. Shattered Globe Theatre has grown artistically, but not artificially. Our ensemble, and guest actors, return time after time to present engaging and riveting work with an emotional truthfulness that is rarely, at least consistently, matched by other venues. Through Classic Drama, as well as U.S. and World Premieres, Shattered Globe Theatre has whittled and honed a style of acting that can only be described as thoughtful and sincere. In 1990, 12 actors with ample amounts of humility and ambition rallied around a new play by Chicago writer Adam Langer. 19 years, 61 plays, 93 Jeff nominations, 42 Jeff Awards or Citations, and 5 After Dark Awards later, Shattered Globe Theatre remains a vital and vibrant ensemble of actors and designers intent upon telling accessible and poignant stories. Shattered Globe Theater is inspired by the story of “everyman”, regular and recognizable folks who seek to make sense of this thing called Life. We look for stories which affirm all that is right with the world and our respective journeys, as well as plays that challenge and question our collective beliefs about justice, respect, and (to steal a phrase) the kindness of strangers and others. You have many choices as a theater patron or donor. Shattered Globe Theatre offers exceptional opportunities to examine the heart, mind, and soul of the characters we portray on stage, as well as your own. We love, almost to a fault, what we do and the stories we tell. We hope you will consider our mission, values and, most of all, our body of work as you think about your opportunities to become involved with Shattered Globe Theatre.
