Steppenwolf Theatre Company operates from Chicago as an international performing arts institution focused on collaborative creation and risk-taking, facilitated by its permanent group of artists, visiting guests, partner institutions, and the surrounding community. The organization centers on ensemble-based work and sustained collaborations as its method for producing theatre and developing artists. It positions itself within the performing arts field as a long-standing ensemble theatre with influence beyond its home city. Founded in 1976 as an ensemble of nine actors, Steppenwolf has grown into a company of forty-two artists with capabilities in acting, directing, playwriting, filmmaking, and textual adaptation. In 2025, the theatre added veteran Chicago director Robert Falls to its ranks for its 50th anniversary season.
