Together, Let's Make History
For the past five years, Otherworld Theatre has received nationwide acclaim for our dedication to the performance of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Now, we have found an amazing venue in Chicago, and find ourselves with the opportunity to take our movement to the next level and give genre performance a permanent home.
Our aim is to raise money for one full operational year - around $120,000 - to help us cover the costs of city permits, paint, salaries, and equipment we will need to make the space all we dream it can become.
We have already raised 60k in pledges, but we need your help to get us to our ultimate goal.
The Space
