Chicago's Goodman Theatre is one of America's oldest and most distinguished regional theatres, producing bold new work and reimagined classics from its home in the city's Loop theater district since 1925. The company occupies a landmark complex housing the Albert Theatre and the smaller Owen Theatre, and has premiered numerous productions that went on to Broadway acclaim. Its annual A Christmas Carol has become a Chicago institution, while its commitment to diverse voices and new play development keeps it at the forefront of American theatre.
