Steppenwolf Theatre Company

Steppenwolf Theatre is the nation’s premier ensemble theater with 50 members who are among the top actors, playwrights, and directors in the field. Thrilling, powerful, groundbreaking productions—from Balm in Gilead and The Grapes of Wrath to August: Osage County, Downstate, The Brother/Sister Plays, and Purpose—have made this theatre legendary. Founded in 1975 by Terry Kinney, Jeff Perry, and Gary Sinise, Steppenwolf’s artistic force remains rooted in the original vision of its founders: an artist-driven theatre, whose vitality is defined by its sharp appetite for bold and innovative work. While grounded in the Chicago community, more than 40 original Steppenwolf productions have enjoyed success nationally and internationally, including Broadway, Off-Broadway, London, Sydney, Galway, and Dublin. Steppenwolf’s accolades include the National Medal of Arts, 14 Tony Awards, two Pulitzer Prize–winning commissions, and more. Led by Artistic Directors Glenn Davis and Audrey Francis, Executive Director E. Brooke Flanagan, and Board of Trustees Chair Keating Crown—Steppenwolf has, and continues to redefine the landscape of acting and performance.
