Collaboraction is at a defining moment in its 28-year journey. As Chicago’s leading socially conscious arts organization, we have consistently brought impactful, change-making stories to life all over Chicago and especially in those underserved areas—even while navigating the challenges of operating without a permanent home for the past four years.

Despite these obstacles, we’ve achieved extraordinary milestones: The Lost Story of Emmett Till: Then and Now garnered national recognition in a third Emmy award, and the acclaimed remount of La Havana Madrid moved audiences while exemplifying our commitment to excellence. However, the lack of a permanent space has constrained our ability to fully expand our reach and deepen our impact.

In 2024, everything changed. We made a critical decision to secure a home at the Kimball Arts Center in Humboldt Park--A House of Belonging--setting the stage for a new era of artistic innovation and community transformation. This space will not only house our groundbreaking productions but also serve as a vital hub for youth empowerment (music and theatre training), workforce development, community dialogue, and social change.

But we cannot do it alone. Your support is crucial to turning this vision into reality. By investing in Collaboraction, you are fueling the power of theatre to bridge divides, amplify underrepresented voices, and spark lasting change.

Together, we can make this defining moment the launchpad for an even brighter, more equitable future. Join us as we continue to inspire, connect, and transform through the arts.

💫THANK YOU for making Collaboraction the beneficiary of your Giving Tuesday and end of year giving!🌟
