Our Playground

About Gadfly Theatre Productions

  GadflyTheatre Productions is entering our Seventh season of queer, feminist art and we are so pleased to announced we are currently making our home at the Fox Egg Gallery at 39th and Chicago. A core part of our mission is creating opportunities for queer and marginalized artists and as such we are renting the space for as low-cost as we can get it when we're not creating our own radical art in it--so just hop over and email gadflytheatre@gmail.com for rental rates or opportunities.

This passionately progressive organization produces queer, feminist art that everyone can laugh, cry, and relate too. We are starting our SEVENTH SEASON of uniquely universal work highlight queer and loudly feminist voices, and as we make our home at the Fox Egg, here are our upcoming events you can go ahead and GET PUMPED about:

The Gadfly Manifesto

We shout the unspeakable + present the unpopular ...
The Queer. The Querulous. The uncomfortable Questions.

We pair eclectic texts with rising talents,
And aspiring creatives with established icons.

There are no small roles, only small actors.
There are no small voices, only small minds.

We're building a playground for 
the Obscure, 
the Oppressed, 
and the unapologetically Original.

Bring your best. Do your worst. 
Create a catastrophe. Make it cathartic. 

We invite you to be Dangerous, onstage & off,
To share your story, as only you can,
With liberty and justice for arts.
