What the press is saying...

Picture
“In many ways, CDE is a stunning example of what a small storefront theatre company’s mission should be. Efforts to tell these often ignored stories and to share them with the community is noticeable and admirable - makes buying a ticket feel as much about supporting social justice as buying entertainment.”

​- Haley Slamon on A Piece of My Heart

Picture
“[CDE] deliberately crafts its work and style around socially conscious productions… Performances that demand a tolerant and open mind.”

​- Nora Sorena Casey on The Yellow Wallpaper

Picture
“An impressive level of emotional depth.”


​- The Chicago Reader

Picture
“Fully committed, riveting performances...weaving seamlessly between movement and text.”

​- Joanna Furnans on Art in Response

Picture
“CDE prompted the audience to not only recognize the immense talent and accomplishment of Chicago’s women artists, but also to laugh, cry, contemplate and relate to the complexity of a woman’s lived experience.”

​- Jordan Kunkel on The Forward March of Women
