This fall is just the beginning of season of powerful stories that connect and inspire—from bold interpretations of Shakespeare in conversation with visionary artists of today to highly anticipated world premieres, theater from across the globe, robust and renowned education programs, and vibrant creative community engagement initiatives.

Its new leadership team—internationally recognized director Edward Hall as artistic director and esteemed arts leader Kimberly Motes as executive director—takes the helm of a theater with a distinctive programmatic breadth, ushering in Chicago Shakespeare’s next chapter as the Tony Award–winning company approaches its fourth decade.

The unmatched electricity of live performance. Sensational storytelling. And award-winning artists at the top of their game. This is the Chicago Shakespeare experience. Shake off the ordinary and let us shake your soul!
