Since 1979, Chicago Dramatists, the playwrights' theatre, has devoted all of its resources and programming to its singular mission of developing new plays and nurturing playwrights.

       Last season alone, Chicago Dramatists' playwrights earned over 700 productions, awards, commissions, readings, and other honors, at large and small theatres in Chicago and around the country. Every year, our work helps to enrich the lives of thousands of theatre patrons across the nation.

       As we celebrate our 31st season, please join us in creating the theatre of the future ...

        Most Saturdays at 2:00, playwrights, theatre artists, industry professionals, and the general public attend Chicago Dramatists' foremost new play development program, The Saturday Series. It is a place where artists and audiences come together to observe and encourage our writers through staged readings and discussions of their plays-in-progress.
