ABOUT: Raven Theatre, an award-winning arts organization located in Chicago’s culturally-underserved Edgewater community, is dedicated to performing arts that illuminate the American experience, and work that provides reflection on our identity in a global context. Through its ensemble produced plays, collaborations with outside artists and organizations, and educational programming, Raven is committed to serving its community's needs via the arts.
Raven emerged on the Chicago theatre scene thirty-one years ago as an itinerant band of five theatre artists. In 1985, Raven moved into its first home in Rogers Park - an intimate 70-seat theatre - and before closing the doors to this venue in 2000, had garnered five Joseph Jefferson Awards. In 2002, Raven moved into its permanent home - a 200-seat, state-of the art-facility in Chicago’s Edgewater community. Today, Raven boasts an ensemble of nineteen Chicago-based artists and proudly presents a full season of programming each year which includes: four major theatrical productions; a new plays workshop series; and The Evermore! Series celebrating Chicago’s brightest emerging artists. Additionally, Raven operates a three-tiered, comprehensive arts education program which includes: TAKE FLIGHT residencies for CPS students; Field Trips to Raven for more than 1,000 CPS students per year; and Tuition-Based Classes and Camps.
