International Voices Project

The International Voices Project is the largest event of its kind in the country and introduces Chicago audiences to some of the most exciting voices on the international theater scene. IVP champions the work of global playwrights by creating opportunities to experience new and contemporary international plays in urban settings and on stages in Chicago. It celebrates the mother tongue and fosters work that brings native languages to the forefront. From its inception, Chicago was conceived as the crossroads of the country. International Voices Project fosters new translations, supports the work of translators, and creates ongoing relationships with playwrights from the five continents.
