A little hard to navigate through once you walk inside but it is a place full of community and spirit . I had the pleasure of performing there and loved the intimate space around it as well as the supportive staff and volunteers.
Collaboraction was the perfect venue for my recent daughter s wedding. In addition, Manny s hard work and attention to detail topped off the event. It was a magical and beautiful evening. Thank you!
My really good friend produced and starred in a play here. Small place, very intimate. Make sure to get there early, only street parking. Good sounds inside!
Collaboraction Theater Company is an innovative Chicago theater group working exclusively to fight systemic racism and promote social change. I attended their MLK slam and related plays at Kennedy King College and really enjoyed it: Their performances were surprisingly nuanced and thoughtful yet powerful, not just black and white. They deserve to be better known. Addressing these issues through art, and providing young actors, playwrights and artists a crucial outlet (their MLK slam involved about 70 people), is also extremely beneficial to them and the Chicago theater community. I'm excited to see how their work evolves.
Intimate theatre in a charming old building - great experience!
Convenient to multiple kinds of public transit. It's confusing to get to the correct space unless you've been before - needs more and more effective signage!
This building could use some better signage but the theatre I was in was lovely, cool and I was happy to be there once I found it.
The space was excellent for Starlight Radio Dreams' recent show. The seats are comfy and new, the stage space looked great and the show was so much fun to do there.
The A/C was not up to the challenge, sadly. The space was about 80 degrees during the show. It was an improvement from outside where it was in the high nineties all day but still uncomfortable.
