CELEBRATING 20 YEARS AND 36 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!
