About Me

Shantz Theatre is dedicated to producing original works that explore the human condition through humor and by stretching the traditional notions of narrative storytelling. Originally based in Minneapolis, Shantz Theatre has relocated to Chicago, prompting The Windy City Times to say that "Minneapolis' loss has the potential to be a strong Chicago gain."
The 2006-07 season marks our fifth anniversary season!
