WE COULDN’T BE PROUDER
Blood of the Lamb, written by the amazing Arlene Hutton, was brought to life by four brilliant actors and a phenomenal team of creatives. We’re grateful for every single person who helped make it possible. To everyone who joined us at The Den Theatre, supported our work, spread the word, donated to Midwest Access Coalition, or simply spent time with this story – thank you.
CELEBRATING 20 YEARS AND 37 PRODUCTIONS
It’s 2026. For two decades Promethean Theatre Ensemble has been busy evolving from a group of energetic Northwestern grads into a committed ensemble of experienced theatre artists. We’ve had plenty of success, taken risks, and basked in the glow of that delightful off-loop theatre glory. We’ve welcomed some of Chicago’s most talented theatre-makers into our ranks so that the originals could move on or pause to catch a breath.
And here we are, still collaborating to tell resonant, timeless stories through fresh perspectives.
To borrow from that marketing blurb we wrote for our first production back in 2006, “In a world that is becoming increasingly bigger, faster, weirder and lonelier,” we’re especially grateful to our ever-expanding audience – folks that have been with us from the beginning and folks that just recently joined the party. Let’s do another twenty, friends!
What’s New
Richard II is waiting in the wings!
Promethean ensemble members have got a jam-packed winter schedule - script reading and work-shopping and fundraising, as usual. But the whole time, excitement will be building because we know our production of Shakespeare’s Richard II is coming up really really soon....
