Serves as the central hub for all artistic productions, rehearsals, educational programming, administrative functions, and audience engagement activities.

Notable Features:

Designed by the renowned Studio Gang Architects, the facility features two intimate performance spaces: the 255-seat Alexandra C. and John D. Nichols Theatre and the flexible 50-99 seat Gillian Theatre. It also includes a stunning grand gallery walk, a spacious patron lounge, administrative offices, and an outdoor rooftop terrace.

Work Culture:

A highly collaborative, creative, and mission-driven environment. Staff and artists are passionate about delivering exceptional theatrical experiences and fostering a strong connection with the community. The culture values innovation, artistic integrity, and inclusivity.

HQ Significance:

The headquarters is a cultural landmark for Glencoe and the greater Chicago region, celebrated for its architectural beauty and its role as a premier venue for professional theatre. It embodies the theatre's commitment to intimacy and artistic excellence.

Values Reflected in HQ: The building's design reflects the theatre's core values: intimacy (through the close actor-audience relationship in its spaces), transparency (with its use of glass and open spaces), community (welcoming public areas), and artistic excellence (state-of-the-art facilities).

Location:

Writers Theatre primarily serves the Chicago metropolitan area and contributes significantly to the American theatre landscape through its critically acclaimed productions, development of new works, and commitment to artistic excellence. While its physical operations are centralized in Glencoe, its reputation extends nationally through critical recognition, artist collaborations, and participation in broader theatrical conversations. International artists may collaborate on productions, and its work is studied and recognized within the international theatre community, though it does not maintain physical global offices.
