Chicago's mission is to create dynamic theatre productions that
attract and engage new and young audiences. We realize our mission
by creating new works, reinterpreting familiar texts, and building
educational programs.

Our 1992 debut went inside
the mind of America's most notorious mass murderer in the one-man
show, Manson: Fires in Your City, written and
directed by Kyle Hall. Charles Manson's writings, interviews,
and testimony from the Tate-LaBianca trials form the backbone
of the play which the Chicago Tribune called "a fascinating,
truly disquieting, hour-long show ... Hall's performance is filled
with chilling masterstrokes."

Other Theatrebam
projects include a workshop of Frozen River,
a musical based on the Lizzie Bordon trials, The Miss
Alphabet City Beauty Pageant and Spelling Bee, and Holiday
Spin.
