Jackalope Theatre Company Employee Directory
Performing ArtsIllinois, United States2-10 Employees
In the spring of 2008, three senior directing majors at Columbia College Chicago joined together in a class project for their Theater Management Techniques course. Their assignment was to create a fictional theatrical production company. The project went so well that they decided to make their project a reality, and that summer Jackalope Theatre Company was born. These founding members, AJ Ware, Kaiser Ahmed, and Gus Menary were soon joined by Andrew Burden Swanson. Since that time, Jackalope has evolved into a dynamic, respected arts organization. Now in our 8th Season, we produce three full length plays and a one-act festival of new plays every year, as well as support artistic programming of every discipline at The Frontier, our storefront home in Edgewater. "We cultivate theatre that manifests the adventure deeply rooted in the American mythos." We are highways. We are jetstreams. We are radio towers. We are the dust and the fight and the west. We are the spirit of expansion. We stage productions of newly developed and established American works. We create theatrical experiences that encourage our audiences to consider what it means to be American, by telling stories that speak to our nation's diversity of cultural backgrounds. We also seek to inspire a new generation of theatre artists through our classes and community events.
