PlayMakers Laboratory

PlayMakers Laboratory (PML) is an ensemble of teaching artists who create an experimental learning environment in which students share their personal voices and celebrate the power of their imaginations. PML accomplishes this through creative writing workshops and in-school performances of students' stories. PML also engages the broader community in support of the visions of young people through public performances of their work.

PlayMakers Laboratory (PML) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in its 24th year. We provide arts education programs to students aged 7-13 throughout Chicago, focused on storytelling, theater, and social-emotional skills.
