Storycatchers Theatre is a nonprofit organization in the civic and social sector that uses arts-based programs to elevate the perspectives of system-impacted youth. By shaping their personal stories into artistic expression, the organization supports adolescents and young adults in expressing themselves, appreciating diverse viewpoints, collaborating with others, and building practical skills that can guide future opportunities. Founded in 1984 by Meade Palidofsky and based in Chicago, Illinois, Storycatchers has expanded its offerings to a wide range of creative and performing arts to meet the evolving needs of the youth it serves. The group operates with a small to mid-sized team and focuses on helping participants navigate adulthood with greater self-direction and voice. Its work centers on enabling young people to determine the course of their lives through arts-informed inquiry and expression.
