Rough House Theater Co. is on a mission to connect individuals and communities through art that celebrates the weird things that make us unique and the weirder things that bring us together. Rough House creates theater that captures the heart through the eye. Their shows use puppetry, music and human performance to tell intimate stories, as strange as they are sincere. Through performances, presentations of work by fellow artists, and artist training, Rough House aspires to make Chicago a national hub of contemporary puppet theater, comprising a diverse and ever-growing community of audiences and artists. Their work has appeared in the National Puppetry Festival, the Chicago International Puppet Theatre Festival, punk houses, funeral parlors, a lotion factory and the woods of Appalachia. roughhousetheater.com
