Redtwist Theatre

Redtwist Theatre is a 501(c)3 corporation functioning as a non-equity storefront theatre on the north side of Chicago in the Edgewater neighborhood. The company was founded in 1994 as Actors Workshop Theatre, and became a residential theatre in its current home in 2002. We strive to create searing hot drama, from name-brand blockbusters, to risky new works and obscure buried treasures that pack emotional force, examine moral dilemmas, and reveal greater truths by transforming our tiny black box and its explosive immediacy into a thematic asset, specifically tailored for every show and intended to close the gap between actor and audience.
