CHAIN THEATRE is always seeking to reflect and react to the world around us. Culturally. Politically. Socially. They enlighten and entertain through stories that reflect on the cyclical nature of history and complexity of the human spirit. Audiences can find investment in the work at the Chain because the work is about them, no matter what it might be. It's a place where artists and audiences can expand their perspective onstage and onscreen.

In addition to our Mainstage programming, the Chain supports thousands of emerging and established artists to showcase their work in a professional setting. Works seen nowhere else. Your donation doesn't just support one company but an entire community of artists finding opportunities in our spaces.
