A Red Orchid Theatre Associate Board
AROT is distinguished by our talented Ensemble and a reputation for pushing the boundaries of live theatre within our intimate, 70-seat house in Chicago’s Old Town neighborhood. Since its founding in 1993, the art produced on stage and the collaborative spirit of our Ensemble of actors, directors, writers, and designers have remained pivotal in shaping the organization.

We typically mount three productions each season whose design, staging, and direction are skillfully crafted and immersive. Of our 80 productions to date, more than half have been world, U.S., or Chicago premieres. This work has been recognized with 49 JEFF nominations and 14 JEFF Awards, and our Ensemble artists have been honored with some of the most prestigious awards in the field of theatre and beyond.

As an advisory volunteer committee, the Associate Board will support A Red Orchid Theatre in producing live theatre with a palpable sense of social compassion, aesthetic rigor, and honesty. They will work together to increase audience awareness, fundraise, and celebrate artistic innovation.
