Founded in 1988 by Jenny Magnus and Beau O'Reilly - as the Curious Theatre "Branch" of the alt-rock cabaret act Maestro Subgum and the Whole - Curious has consistently worked with an ensemble of artists in a non-hierarchical decision-making process, through which the philosophy of collaboration as a social force is explored on every level.
Curious Theatre Branch has produced more than 100 full productions of world-premiere shows in nearly 30 years, amazing audiences year after year in how much can be accomplished for so little. Curious has developed its own recognizable style, using an economy of means and production to make deeper and deeper, rather than larger and larger, work. Curious is currently co-producing the 31st annual Rhinoceros Theater Festival, featuring 48 shows through February 23, 2020 at Prop Thtr, 3502 N. Elston Ave. in Chicago.
