Mission

Through the celebration of physical based theatre, CFT is committed to productions that fuse different genres, mediums and styles in an effort to foster a greater appreciation of the arts in the community.

Why We Need Your Help

Help us close a successful season and continue planning for the next! CFT in association with DCA Theatre presents the award-winning, Las Hermanas Padilla, by emerging playwright Tony Meneses. Las Hermanas Padilla, is a poetic, humorous, and fantastical vision of ten sisters-in-law who, while the world is at war, find solace, despair, humor, and grace in their unexpected sisterhood. Directed by Juan Castañeda of Urban Theater Company, Las Hermanas Padilla, runs February 29 - April 1 at the DCA Storefront Theater, 66 E. Randolph St., in the heart of Chicago's downtown theater district. The show runs Thursdays – Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 3:00 pm.

Being selected to perform at DCA has allowed us to expand programming, including four special events that we would not have been able to organize and execute. In order to continue expanding our Arts Education and Outreach Programs we need your help. New programming includes:

• Wednesday, February 29: Military Night Preview
• Saturday, March 3: Post-show discussion featuring playwright Tony Meneses
• Sunday, March 11: Enhanced performance for the Blind or Visually Impaired
• Tuesday, March 20: We’re Waiting for You: Encountering the Homefront
