Raven Theatre tells stories of today and the past that connect us to our cultural landscape. Raven’s commitment to modern drama in all of its forms, as well as its first-class education programming, have helped it remain a cultural cornerstone on the north side of Chicago for 38 years and counting. Raven is proud to be a cultural cornerstone of Chicago’s north side, where its artistic excellence is known among theatergoers and artists alike. Long acclaimed for its revivals of classic plays, Raven also gives voice to emerging playwrights whose work will help to shape the theatrical cannon for years to come. The theater engages the next generation of artists and community leaders through its robust education program, “Take Flight.” Each year, teaching artists help 3,000 students unlock their creative potential through summer camps, field trip programs, and in-school workshops. Raven works with local elected officials, businesses, and community development organizations to continually offer programs that meet the needs of its neighbors, allowing the theater to remain a destination for theatre and arts education and an artistic home for all who need one.
