Steppenwolf Theatre Company is a Chicago theatre company in Chicago, Illinois. It was founded in 1974 by Gary Sinise, Terry Kinney and Jeff Perry in the basement of a church in Highland Park, Illinois. In 1980, the theater company moved into a 134-seat theater at the Jane Addams Hull House Center, on N. Broadway avenue in Chicago proper. Two years later, the company moved to a 211-seat facility at 2851 N. Halsted, which was their home until 1991, when they completed construction on, and moved into their current theater complex at 1650 N. Halsted. Steppenwolf productions helped to launch the careers of a number of well-known American actors, including Gary Sinise, John Malkovich, Joan Allen, John Mahoney, William Petersen, Martha Plimpton and Laurie Metcalf. Other notable theater practitioners who have worked at Steppenwolf include Dan Ostling, Todd Rosenthal, Jonathan Berry, and Joanie Schultz. The company is now headed into its 30th season and has helped make Chicago a leading city in the performing arts.
