Point of Contention cultivates a platform from which the community can interpret, discuss, and better understand their lives and the world in which they live.

Founded by two Chicago-based actors after too much caffeine and visions of interpreting a children’s play as a biblical epic--yeah, that's right--POC produces provocative theater that challenges people to look deeper and ask, “but, why?”www.pointofcontention.org
