Signal Year In Review!



Want to know what we've been doing for the last year? Well, fear not! Intrepid ensemble member (and development director) Aaron Snook has written a year in review just for you!


An Excerpt:

"On the stage, we continue to define what Signal Ensemble Theatre is by challenging our ensemble and bringing new and engaging theatre to our audience. Behind the scenes, our organization has evolved dramatically with additions to our board, staff and audience support." Read More

Why We Do It



Signal Ensemble Theatre's mission is to inspire our audience with a kaleidoscope of compelling theatre, while continuing to challenge and support our distinguished ensemble in their artistic growth.

More than anything else, it is our ensemble that makes us who we are. Comprised of actors, designers, writers, directors and stage managers, we have created an environment that encourages both personal risk and unwavering collaboration. While it is our ensemble that defines us, it is our audience that propels us forward. As a theatre company in the Chicago Storefront scene, we have the rare opportunity to have a conversation with one of the greatest and most diverse audiences in the world. It is this alchemy of ensemble and audience that makes Signal Ensemble Theatre what it is today.
