Playwrights Ensemble

Victory Gardens aims to develop and produce new plays from its ensemble of playwrights. Through their seven-year residencies, the artists are deeply involved in the everyday life and business of the organization. During that time, the playwrights engage audiences throughout Chicago’s diverse communities and participate in Victory Gardens highly respected educational programs.

After the seven-year residency has ended, the playwrights immediately join the Alumni, whereby they will still maintain an artistic relationship with Victory Gardens.
