Founded in 1997 by Fred Anzevino, Artistic Director, Theo Ubique Cabaret Theatre is a Rogers Park-based cabaret-theatre company. It initially began performing at the Heartland Studio, producing an array of straight drama, comedy and musicals. When it incorporated in 2004, Anzevino started the cabaret theatre trend in the Chicago area when it began producing musicals and revues at Michael James' No Exit Café-its home since then. During its 14-year history, Theo Ubique previously produced 34 productions and has received 25 Jeff Awards Non-Equity and 3 After Dark Awards. The name Theo Ubique (pronounced thee-oh oo-bah-kway) is a combination of Greek and Latin words reflecting the company's mission to engage actors and audiences in an intimate and honest conversation with great theatrical works.
