Historical Note

Since the 1960s, Chicago has seen a tremendous growth of locally created theater. The Encyclopedia of Chicago notes that young, and often broke, actors began seeking out non-traditional theater space like bars, bowling alleys and vacant storefronts in the city’s neighborhoods to showcase their productions. The success of these ensembles has varied from creating established theater companies that still exist today to those more ephemeral troupes that produced only a single show or season. Records for these short-lived ensembles is frequently only captured in theater programs.

Scope and Content

The Chicago Theater Collection-Miscellaneous Programs includes programs and newspaper clippings for live theater and performance productions in Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. Programs are generally from off-Loop productions dating 1960 and later. For earlier productions or productions at Loop theaters please see the Chicago Theater Collection-Historic Programs. Additional programs may be available within their individual theater’s archival collection.

Arrangement

Programs are arranged alphabetically by theater, then chronologically by performance date. Suburban theaters have been listed after those in Chicago.
