WHAT IS HOME? A place. A city. A house. A beginning. Is home something we take with us when we leave it? Does it move with us, or is it something we leave behind? What are the boundaries of home? Is our home big enough for others? How does the meaning of home change as we age? Can we ever go back? These are some of the questions six, great Chicago writers posed throughout 2010 for our Season Three: What is Home?

Engaging. Intimate. Professional theater. I look forward to seeing you at 16th Street at the Berwyn Cultural Center, a part of the North Berwyn Park District.

The 16th Street Theater, NFP is a 501(c)(3) organization. YOU make the theater live.

- ANN FILMER, Artistic Director
