The mission of Avalanche Theatre is to foster the development of new plays and playwrights through a collaborative coalition of theatre makers. We seek to create opportunities for diverse, innovative, and unconventional writers by creating exciting, community-building developmental performances and feedback sessions that enrich our audiences and allow for the growth of our artists. We strive to create a foundation on which the next generation of theatre writers can build.

​

We also aim to be a play development resource for the entire Chicago theatre community - not only for playwrights looking to workshop their plays, but also as a partner for theatre companies to develop new productions.

​

We are a strong, passionate collective of artists who provide a constructive and encouraging environment for the development of new plays, and who work to push the boundaries of what theatre can be.

Writing tomorrow's classics, today.
