Filament Theatre was founded in 2007 and has establishing itself as an anchor arts company for the Portage Park neighborhood since 2014.  Over the years Filament has caught the attention of the theatre industry, including features on NPR’s All Things Considered, TEDx, Chicago Artists Resource, and several other local and national news outlets.  This attention has translated into well-received and profitable productions across several different locations.  When Alderman John Arena of the 45^th Ward and Arts Alive 45 recruited Filament to lease an available storefront in the Six Corners Business District, they were attracted to Filament’s record of high quality productions coupled with a business-savvy and civically engaged staff.
