Artistic Council
Chicago Children's Theatre has attracted a group of acclaimed and talented artists to its Artistic Council. Included in the council are performers, artists, musicians and directors. This group functions as an exceptional resource for the development and production of programming for future Chicago Children's Theatre productions. “With their breadth of theatrical experience, this group comes together to express their ideas in support of the core principles of Chicago Children's Theatre,” said Jacqueline Russell, Artistic Director.Artistic Council
