Founded in 1991, Shattered Globe Theatre was born when a small group of Chicago theatre artists joined forces to stage a single production, Adam Langer’s Backstage Pass. Inspired by the positive reception of the show and the powerful dynamic experienced in their collaboration, the actors formed Shattered Globe and took up residence in a tiny storefront at 2856 N. Halsted Street. Since that time, Shattered Globe has produced more than 50 plays, garnering a total of 58 Non-Equity Jeff Award nominations, of which it won a total of 34 in all judging categories. The Theatre has received 15 nominations and won two Equity Wing Jeff Awards, eight After Dark Awards, and the acclaim of critics and audiences alike for such productions as Judgment at Nuremberg, The House of Blue Leaves, Coyote on a Fence, The Manchurian Candidate, Come Back, Little Sheba, and most recently Requiem for a Heavyweight and A Taste of Honey. SGT presents an eclectic mix of shows that speak to our times and inspire social discourse, including world premieres by promising Chicago playwrights, Chicago premieres of works by national and international writers, and new takes on America’s best-loved classics. The company is now in residence at The Greenhouse, Theatrealong with four other theatres, and produces three shows a season
