Save the date! Loopshop 2015 in Logan Square


Loopshop 8 is coming up this summer with a whole slate of new works in bite-sized portions.

The annual series, set for 8 p.m. on Monday, July 27, and Tuesday, July 28, at the Charnel House, showcases short plays or scenes from full-length scripts in development.

Strangeloop is committed to producing new or newly adapted work, and Loopshop gives Chicago audiences the chance to see a number of new works by emerging playwrights in one sitting.

Our development process focuses on production-oriented collaboration between writers and artists, as well as readings and performances of scenes that allow audiences to experience and react to the work.

The Charnel House is located at 3421 W Fullerton Ave, in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago. More information on the plays involved in this year's Loopshop will be available soon.
