Steppenwolf’s ethos is ensemble—the guiding principle that we are stronger when we act together. With COVID-19 presenting a massive threat to the well-being of not only Steppenwolf but the entire Chicago arts ecosystem, we knew that we must meet this challenge as a united front.
So, we have rallied with 109 other local theatre companies to join us for a limited edition “Chicago Acts Together” t-shirt featuring the names of all participating companies—an incredible showcase of Chicago’s robust and diverse theater community. 100% of the proceeds from sales will go to The Chicago Theatre Workers Relief Fund, a League of Chicago Theatres initiative that directly assists theatre workers who have lost work as a result of COVID-19 and are facing financial uncertainty.
To purchase a t-shirt and support this incredible cause, visit Rowboat Creative and their Creatives Who Care initiative.
