Albany Park Theater Project

Albany Park Theater Project is a multi-ethnic ensemble of teenagers creating original performance works out of real-life stories from Chicago's immigrant, working-class Albany Park neighborhood. Our mission emphasizes three goals: to create dynamic original theater that represents the stories of real people in a manner that a culturally, economically, and age diverse audience finds compelling, challenging, and inspiring to help teenagers recognize and achieve their potential, with a particular emphasis on inspiring and nurturing their educational ambitions and sense of civic responsibility to contribute to the vitality and vibrancy of the Albany Park neighborhood, where APTP is the only performing-arts organization
