Introducing The Forge Series!

The Forge is a new monthly play reading and art show series, giving artists of many mediums a chance to show their talents to a broad audience.  The Forge is open to artists of all experience levels, with a specific goal to grow and foster new work by talented and under-produced young artists. We accept applications on a rolling basis from any artists who would like to be featured.
What is The Forge?
The Forge is a monthly art show, centering around a reading of a new play, and  including music and visual art. The Forge is a gathering place, where ideas are traded and projects are worked on.  A crucible, and oven, a pressure cooker.  A place to check in.
Who can be in The Forge?
We welcome all Chicago artists to apply to be part of The Forge.  We want The Forge to be an opportunity specifically for those who have not had a chance to show their work in a professional setting.  We accept rolling submissions from playwrights, actors, musicians, and visual artists.
When is it?
The Forge will be the last week of every month.  Doors open at 7:00pm with time to mingle and enjoy the art and music before the reading starting at 8:00pm.  The reading will be followed by a short talkback.
How much are tickets?
Tickets for The Forge are absolutely free!  We want to encourage everyone to come to The Forge readings to support these artists as they develop exciting work.
What is the goal of The Forge?
Our hope is to give artists a chance to showcase their craft in a professional environment, while fostering a community to support each other's artistic ventures.  Ultimately we hope to inspire networking and create long lasting collaborations as we empower artists to create opportunities for themselves and others.
