Runs Jul 08 – Jul 28, 2024
In ‘Goods’ by Lauren Ferebee, embark on an intergalactic journey with Marla and Sam, two resilient women navigating the cosmos as seasoned trash collectors in the year 2100. Amidst the vastness of space, their compact spaceship serves as a sanctuary from the chaos of Earth’s turmoil. As they commemorate two decades of partnership, their routine anniversary route takes an unforeseen turn, thrusting them into a confrontation with the pressing issues they’ve sought to escape, including societal collapse and personal demons. Join them on a poignant exploration of friendship, identity, and the weight of the world they carry among the stars.

We make women heroes of their own lives by sharing their stories and amplifying their voices.  

Artemisia produces plays that empower women, creating career-altering opportunities for female identifying theatre artists of all racial and ethnic backgrounds; sexual orientations and identities; economic status; ages and disabilities.  Artemisia aims to be at the forefront of the fight for women and female-identifying people through outstanding performances that push the envelope.  From world premieres to the virtual stage, our mission is and will always be to better our world for women and female-identifying people. The theatre’s namesake, Artemisia Gentileschi, was a great feminist painter, forgotten by history.  It’s why Artemisia Theatre was founded, to share women’s untold stories.

Artemisia is led by a volunteer coalition of Chicago-based artists and administrators who are fully committed to the theatre’s mission and its core values of empowerment, diversity and inclusion.  The theatre is organized as a 501 c 3 nonprofit in Illinois.

Artemisia invites anyone and everyone who wants to empower women to join us as artists and audiences.
