About Us:
Spotlight Theater is a performing arts company that was founded in 2005 by Jane Cox, Jeff Gamlin, Bryce Gardner and Britney Louise. Our goal is to provide a unique selection of quality theatrical productions, big and small, to the Chicagoland area.
Spotlight operates independently of a park district, school or other organization, we rely on ticket sales and donations from patrons to survive. We operate independently because we strive to bring courageous and provocative entertainment to the south suburban community and believe that creativity should never be censored or restricted. We strive to present theatre from alternative viewpoints and encourage free thinking and open-mindedness in our community. Beyond that, we strive to challenge all of our actors and artistic crew members with material that most community members of the Chicago Southland would never have an opportunity to tackle so close to home.
Spotlight is a registered charitable corporation, and we contribute to worthy causes. For example, in 2009, Spotlight donated half the proceeds from our show Love... American Style! to Redeemer Lutheran Church to benefit organizations such as PADS for the homeless and Alcoholics Anonymous.
