Steep Theatre is on a growth trajectory, and the board is currently evolving to the meet the changing needs of the growing company. The board’s primary goals for new members are increasing Steep’s contributed revenue in order to fund the company’s artistic goals and growing its audience and subscriber base through marketing, PR, and other community-based outreach. The board is looking for new members who have expertise in these areas and/or social or professional networks interested in attending or supporting Steep’s work.
Steep’s board is a friendly, welcoming, playful group of people. They take the work of the theatre and the work of the board very seriously, but they don’t take themselves too seriously. A sense of humor is crucial!

Mission Statement
To bring out the everyday truths in the stories we tell through ensemble work and to reach out to non-traditional theatregoers by seeking out stories and creating experiences relevant to them.
Description
Housed in what was once a small grocery store steps from the Berwyn El stop, Steep is the quintessential storefront theatre - that iconic breed of Chicago theatre that makes our cultural landscape unlike that of any other city. Steep is committed to producing new and under-produced plays that tell the stories of ordinary people in extraordinary situations - small stories that illuminate larger societal issues. Steep creates powerful productions of plays by today's most exciting writers and features the work of Chicago's hottest theatre artists in a beautiful, intimate space. Steep Theatre is known as a home for hard-hitting, finely tuned ensemble work.
Steep believes theatre should stoke conversations about the issues and conditions that are part of all of our lives; conversations that take place between artists and audiences in the theatre, in the lobby, and long after everyone has gone home. Steep's goal is more than just sparking these conversations - the company's goal is to add more voices and perspectives to these conversations. Steep strives to reach the everyday person who may have abandoned theatre as a relevant art form by telling stories that touch their lives in real and palpable ways and by creating an environment that is welcoming to everyone. By bringing these voices back to the theatre, Steep hopes to reinvigorate conversations and ensure that theatre is a viable, vital, and productive art form.
