Chicago Dramatists Announce Open House May 11

Tap into your creative side.

Do you have stories to tell? Characters to create? Lyrics to be sung? Bring your creativity to life at Chicago Dramatists. Meet us on Saturday, May 11th for our Open House and a chance to meet our new Artistic Director, Carson Becker.

Chicago Dramatists provides an artistic home for people from all walks of life. It's a place where creativity is supported and realized. It's a safe place to experiment, to craft your play, story, script or musical. You will find the class that speaks to your individual creative process; meet the peers and writers you'll work alongside; and discover the mentor who will put the fire in your belly and help with that final push of your final draft.
