We're Chicago's seat for new works

Our Mission

Composed of indie theatre artists, Two Chairs is storytelling-first, primarily focused on providing support to up-and-coming, underrepresented artists with their most bold and unabashed ideas. As an ensemble, we are intrigued by darkly comedic, risk-taking stories that twist the modern American mythos with sobering honesty and biting wit…

Works that are exciting, daring, odd, confusing, dark, disgusting, hilarious, improvised, devised, My Mom Hated This, thrilling, specific, emotional, lyrical, My Mom Loved This, one-act, two-act, three-act if it wins the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, questioning, yearning, unique, and unflinchingly beautiful.

This is Two Chairs. We joyfully accept your engagement as we dive into the new.
