Founded in 1982, Stage Left Theatre's mission is to develop and produce plays that raise social and political debate. Over the past thirty-three years, Stage Left has produced over 130 mainstage, late-night, off-night, children’s and touring productions that have garnered critical accolades, as well as 47 nominations and 16 awards for excellence from the Joseph Jefferson Awards Committee. In the fall of 2010, after 15 years in our previous home at 3408 N Sheffield, Stage Left became one of the resident companies at Theater Wit – a multi-theatre complex that provides expanded seating capacity and audience amenities, greater design opportunities, and a chance to establish relationships with the other resident companies.
