Causes: Arts & Culture, Performing Arts
Mission: Mudlark Theater is a not-for-profit organization where children are taken seriously as artists, and learn theater by making it. As a rule, the general public expects little of children’s theater. Mudlark's goal is to raise that expectation and keep it there. By holding children to a higher standard and empowering them to make strong artistic choices, we create the possibility for great theater—vibrant, funny, compelling shows that erase the boundary between youth and professional theater.
Target demographics: Young people make real theater
Direct beneficiaries per year: 2,000 kids (ages 5-18)
Geographic areas served: Chicago Metro Area
