Albany Park Theater Project is a multiethnic, ensemble-based theater company of teens and young adults. We create original performance works based on the real-life stories of immigrant and working-class Americans. Through the theater we create, APTP artists:

share stories from the margins of American life, stories that might otherwise go unheard on America's stages; provide a forum for exploring issues important to communities like ours; enhance the vitality of our neighborhood and of Chicago's cultural landscape; create a place where youth recognize and pursue their ability to lead ambitious, engaged lives; showcase the ways in which young people and artists can change the world
