Mission

Our mission is to investigate and encourage discussion about what “Nordic” means and how it is perceived through translated theatre performance.  The plays we produce will give Nordic countries a strong voice in North America while contributing to the vibrant intercultural theatre scene already thriving in Chicago.We produce contemporary Nordic plays—you won’t be seeing Strindberg or Ibsen any time soon.
