Live Bait Theater: Expires 4/30/2005

About Live Bait Theater


Live Bait Theater was founded in 1987 to produce new work by emerging Chicago playwrights and solo artists. We choose work that employs a rich and compelling use of language, explores unusual subject matter, and strongly emphasizes the visual component. We seek out diverse artists who find inspiration in a wide variety of life experiences and artistic points of view. Over the past sixteen years, Live Bait has produced more than seventy-five world premieres.


Chicago's Joseph Jefferson (Jeff) Committee has honored Live Bait with Best New Work and Best Adaptation nominations for: NIGHT BATTLES (2001), LOVECHILD (2000), CHERI (1999), 1001 AFTERNOONS IN CHICAGO (1997), ZAP!
