Who Are We?
What Have We Even Done?
Our Mission
The Factory Theater delivers unexpected, unapologetic theatrical experiences through original works forged and assembled by our shameless ensemble.
Our Commitment
The Factory Theater strives to put all artists at the forefront of any decision we make, with a focus on ensuring every person feels supported, valued, and safe. The IDEA committee serves to uplift, mediate, and foster equity for all who work with us. We will continue to educate ourselves and stand in support of underrepresented groups and advocate for greater inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility in the Chicago storefront theatre community.
IDEA Committee
We do not tolerate bigotry in any form at The Factory Theater. This includes, but is not limited to: Racism, Sexism, Ableism, Sizeism, Ageism, Homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia (we all know these are not legitimate phobias), any ‘Othering’ practice. We also do not tolerate harassment or retaliation or any kind.
The Land We Stand On
We acknowledge that we are on the traditional homelands of the Council of the Three Fires: the Odawa, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi nations. We offer respect and gratitude to these and all Indigenous Peoples of Illinois who suffered greatly so that we could grow from the seeds of these first American storytellers.
