THE STEPPENWOLF THEATRE COMPANY

Look out for flying chairs, or frying pans, or a raft of angry adjectives tossed between loving family members. Welcome to the Steppenwolf.

The Steppenwolf Theatre Company grew out of a basement performance space in one of Chicago's northern suburbs when a bunch of high school and college friends decided to share their talent with the world. Their decision has resulted in nine Tony Awards®, a National Medal of Arts and countless Joseph Jefferson citations (a local theater prize). Ensemble members include such household names as John Malkovich, Gary Sinise (cofounder), Amy Morton and John Mahoney.

True to its mission, the Steppenwolf consistently delivers dynamic and exciting theater that will hit you hard. Prepare to be moved by superb writers, like Tracy Letts (August: Osage County) and Bruce Norris (Clybourne Park, a recent Pulitzer Prize winner), who deliver a high level of drama and emotion to their productions.

Every season offers a range of plays, from sprawling family sagas to surprising adaptations of theatrical classics. You won't find a bad seat in the house, but you may find yourself gripping your chair as you get sucked into the storylines played out on stage.

Steppenwolf is located just a few miles north of the Loop, so you'll have plenty of time for dinner and a show. Many excellent restaurants are nearby. You may even find yourself at a table next to the director of the show you're seeing.
