Performing since 1994, ShawChicago Theater Company continues to entertain and amaze audiences. In the past, critics and audience members have raved about the high caliber of the actors, the directors and the productions. Below are just a few comments.

“The fine work of this cast of ShawChicago veterans under Robert Scogin’s ever-perceptive eye is first rate and you have until February 6th to see this Shavian gem (Don Juan In Hell) whether for the first or the tenth time-and I recommend it for either.”
-Andrew Patner, WFMT 98.7 FM

“Veteran actors Terence Gallagher, charming in the title role, (Don Juan In Hell) Adrianne Cury, Michael McAlister and Tony Dobrowolski perform eloquently, and they clearly enjoy the script’s clever debate on the respective virtues of heaven and hell.”
-Jenn Goddu, The Chicago Reader

“The ShawChicago ensemble harmonizes in three-octave dialects with dazzling agility.”(Major Barbara)
-Mary Shen Barnidge, Windy City Times

“ShawChicago does a great job of giving lively personalities to George Bernard Shaw’s rich characters.”(Major Barbara)
-Jenn Goddu, The Chicago Reader

“I have yet to be disappointed in a performance. Your casts are wonderful!”
-Ms. Eugenie R. Mirelowitz, Chicago

“In keeping with the script’s (Mrs. Warren’s Profession) lively tone, Robert Scogin’s cast in this ShawChicago concert reading plays the comedy with admirable broadness and unexpected emotional resonance.”
-Nick Green, The Chicago Reader

I feel that ShawChicago is a little-known ‘gem’ among Chicago theater offerings.”
-Jerre Donnelly, Chicago

“George Bernard Shaw’s play (Pygmalion) has serious points to make about class, morality, and marriage, but it’s also lots of fun, especially in ShawChicago’s vibrant, vigorously paced staged reading directed by Robert Scogin.”
-Jenn Goddu, The Chicago Reader

“The ShawChicago players animate the vivid characters and elaborate vistas envisioned by two authors (Shaw & J. M. Barrie) writing in the novelistic mode of the Victorian Age. Go now.” (The Man of Destiny & The Old Lady Shows Her Medals)
-Mary Shen Barnidge, Windy City Times

“Hilarious, stimulating and disturbing as only Shaw can be.”
-Albert Williams, The Chicago Reader
