As many of you may recall, and for those who may not know, Tin Drum Theatre Company, where dramatic disturbances are the norm, was founded in 2024 by Co-Artistic Directors Steve Needham and Jason Palmer. We made waves on the Chicago theatre scene with our world premiere of Steve Needham's debut play, Winter Garden. We are truly thankful to everyone who supported us and helped sell out the run of that show. We are excited to announce that, owing to the success of that production and the enthusiasm of our amazing audiences, we have decided to try and build on that success!

In 2025, with your support, Tin Drum Theatre Company plans to produce a FULL SEASON of shows:

The Chicago and regional premiere of Nick Payne's Incognito (directed by Jason Palmer) July 17 - August 3 at The Bramble Arts Loft
Issac's Eye, by Lucas Hnath (directed by Steve Needham) at The Bramble Arts Loft in early November
The world premiere of a new work by the redoubtable Steve Needham that bears the working title Desert Spaces (details TBD)

We are excited for this opportunity to get to know each other better, to talk about our efforts to help revitalize the post-pandemic Chicago theatre scene, and to convince you to come along for the ride!

Join us and learn more about our upcoming Tin Drum Theatre Company 2025 Season live and in person. We will have some exciting things on hand to share with you about our first production, Incognito, by Nick Payne. Have you ever wondered about how much rehearsal actors need to prepare for a show or about the director's process behind it? Are you curious about what goes into designing a set for a black-box theatre? Well, we just might have some answers to those questions - and that's only part of what we have to share with you on this special evening.

We can't wait to see you!
