Found Objects Theatre Grp. is the young Chicago theatre company for smart, insightful, new drama excavated from dark, forgotten, neglected and sometimes wisely avoided places.
Now in our third season, we continue to turn heads with dangerous, funny, intelligent original work that pulls no punches and makes no apologies. Like, after we punch people, we don’t say sorry for it.
Responsible for critically lauded and audience beloved shows like Teatime at Golgotha, An Increasingly Un-Cordial Invitation, Torvald and I, Imposters and Histories Minor, we continue to look for ways to shoehorn in media sound bites like these:
“Brilliant… Intelligent… Thrilling… Rewarding… Cool… Fantastical… Cunning… Whip-smart… Masterful… Fascinating… Funny, menacing, subversive, smart, unique, and impossible to imagine anywhere but on a stage “
“Bring[s] history, myth and hallucination into fruitful collision”
“Bracingly Imaginative”
-Chicago Reader
“Blithely witty and unexpectedly insightful”
“weaves story-lines real and fake into an often-moving tapestry”
-Timeout
“wit and erudition that call to mind Oscar Wilde and Tom Stoppard”
“Engaging, challenging work”
-Centerstage
“The most intimate and peculiar theater… in town”
–New Orleans Time Picayune
