Chicago is known the world over as home to theatre that’s innovative, exciting, and ground-breaking. Yet for the nearly 1.5 million Chicagoland residents with Asian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean backgrounds, the city’s stages seldom reflect the stories and experiences that shape their lives, let alone feature actors with familiar faces. This need is now being met by Silk Road Theatre Project. Distinguished as the only theatre of its kind in the United States, this fast emerging company is expanding the discourse on diversity and representation in the American theatre.

Silk Road Theatre Project showcases playwrights of Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean backgrounds, whose works address themes relevant to the peoples of the Silk Road and their Diaspora communities. Through the creation and presentation of outstanding theatre, they aim to promote discourse and dialogue among multi-cultural audiences in Chicago.

Silk Road Theatre Project – an authentic Chicago theatre experience only a few feet from your seat. Intimate, edgy, entertaining plays in the heart of the Loop. “One of Chicago’s hidden treasures.” –Chicago Sun Times.
