Steppenwolf Theatre Company is a Chicago theatre company founded in 1974 by Terry Kinney, Jeff Perry, and Gary Sinise in the Unitarian church on Half Day Road in Deerfield, Illinois and is now located in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood on Halsted Street. The theatre's name comes from Hermann Hesse's novel Steppenwolf, which original member Rick Argosh was reading during the company's inaugural production of Paul Zindel's play. After occupying several theatres in Chicago, in 1991, it moved into its own purpose-built complex with three performing spaces, the largest seating 550. A recipient of the Regional Tony Award, several of its productions have transferred to Broadway.

The Steppenwolf Downstairs Theater presents world premiere productions and fresh interpretations of classic and contemporary plays in its state-of-the-art 515-seat theater. The 1700 Theater is a cabaret-style, flexible 80-seat space dedicated to showcasing the work of our ensemble and emerging local companies.
