About New American Folk Theatre
A Chicago performing arts theater company. New American Folk Theater creates honest, creative retellings of the American story through folk art and live stage work. Its productions reexamine folktales, including their difficult and haunting truths, while exploring relationships, identities, and American experiences. The ensemble makes handmade art intended to be useful and utilitarian, with stories and performances shaped for people across class, status, culture, community, ethnicity, gender, and religion. Founded in 2011, the theater presents shows in an unorthodox Americana setting. Its work includes musical and theatrical productions that draw on old and new folk traditions while inviting audiences to reconsider familiar stories and identities.
