PRESENTING STORIES INSPIRED BY HISTORY THAT CONNECT WITH TODAY'S SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ISSUES.
TIMELINE THEATRE WAS FOUNDED IN 1997 WITH A GOAL OF EXPLORING TODAY'S SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ISSUES THROUGH THE LENS OF THE PAST. BY THE END OF OUR 23ND SEASON IN THE SUMMER OF 2020, WE PRODUCED 82 PLAYS, INCLUDING 10 WORLD PREMIERES AND 38 CHICAGO PREMIERES, THAT HAVE EXPLORED COUNTLESS FACETS OF THAT MISSION. FROM LGBTQIA+ (THE NORMAL HEART, BOY) AND JEWISH EXPERIENCES (A SHAYNA MAIDEL, MY NAME IS ASHER LEV) TO ISSUES OF CULTURES INTERSECTING AND INTERTWINING (CHIMERICA, A DISAPPEARING NUMBER, A WALK IN THE WOODS), TO EXPLORATIONS OF PEACE, HUMANITY, LEGACY, AND FAMILY (OSLO, RUTHERFORD AND SON), AND THE HISTORICAL ROOTS OF THE BLACK LIVES MATTER MOVEMENT (KILL MOVE PARADISE, A RAISIN IN THE SUN), TIMELINE'S RICH PRODUCTION HISTORY HIGHLIGHTS A MIX OF PERSPECTIVES. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O) TIMELINE HAS BEEN AWARDED 58 JEFF AWARDS, HONORING EXCELLENCE IN CHICAGO THEATRE, INCLUDING 11 FOR OUTSTANDING PRODUCTION, AND RECEIVED THE PRESTIGIOUS 2016 MACARTHUR AWARD FOR CREATIVE AND EFFECTIVE INSTITUTIONS, WHICH "RECOGNIZES EXCEPTIONAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE DEMONSTRATED CREATIVITY AND IMPACT, AND INVESTS IN THEIR LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY." THE COMPANY WAS ALSO NAMED "ONE OF THE NATION'S TOP 10 MOST PROMISING EMERGING PROFESSIONAL THEATRES" IN 2011 BY THE AMERICAN THEATRE WING, FOUNDER OF THE TONY AWARDS. LOCALLY, TIMELINE CONTINUES TO EMERGE AS A PROMINENT VOICE IN CHICAGO'S VIBRANT ARTS COMMUNITY, LAUDED BY THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE AS A "SAVVY AND GROWING COMPANY, WHERE MORE AND MORE CHICAGOANS HAVE COME, WITH REASON, TO TRUST THE POWER, TRUTH AND INTEGRITY OF THE WORK." TIMELINE CURRENTLY SERVES APPROXIMATELY 25,000 AUDIENCE MEMBERS ANNUALLY.
TIMELINE'S LIVING HISTORY EDUCATION PROGRAM SHARES OUR MISSION AND ART TO CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS, ACTIVELY ENGAGING STUDENTS IN THE DIALOGUES WE FOSTER WITH ADULT AUDIENCES. THROUGH HIGH-QUALITY ARTS INTEGRATION RESIDENCIES, STUDENTS EXPLORE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN HISTORY, ART AND THEIR OWN LIVES THROUGH THEATRE EXERCISES THAT DEVELOP CRITICAL THINKING AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS.IN THE 2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR (PRIOR TO COVID-19), THE LIVING HISTORY PROGRAM SERVED 727 STUDENTS AND 12 TEACHERS IN 5 SCHOOLS. TIMELINE SOUTH IS A UNIQUE ARTS PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES TEENS A SAFE SPACE FOR SELF-EXPRESSION, CREATIVITY AND ENSEMBLE BUILDING ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O) TEENS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN BASIC SKILLS IN THEATRE AND PERFORMING ARTS AND EXPLORE TOPICS THAT THEY FEEL A STRONG CURIOSITY ABOUT AND CONNECTION TO. TIMELINE SOUTH IS OFFERED FREE OF CHARGE MONDAY-FRIDAY FOR SIX WEEKS AND FOCUSES ON VOICE, SELF-EXPRESSION, BALANCE AND WELLNESS, AND DEVISING. DUE TO COVID-19, TIMELINE SOUTH WAS REIMAGINED AS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM IN THE SUMMER OF 2020.
