Intrinsic Theatre Company

At Intrinsic Theatre, we believe that theatre, and all forms of art, are just that: intrinsic! We strive to remind the community that the arts aren't just something you have to do for a half-credit in high school. It is something that needs to be experienced, cultivated, and shared.

Formed in Detroit in 2017, we relocated to Chicago a year later. It is our aim to give the residents and visitors of Chicagoland a way to rediscover the magic of theatre through engaging and provocative storytelling. Each of our seasons focuses on a different aspect of our lives that is central, intrinsic if you will, to what we call the American experience. What does it mean to be alive today? What does it mean to be an American? What unites us all? Or, what collectively divides? These are the questions our seasons, both past and future, will attempt to answer.
