Pegasus Players Theater

Located in Chicago's diverse Uptown neighborhood, Pegasus Players Theatre has a two-fold mission: to produce the highest quality artistic work, and to expand access to theatre, entertainment and arts education for underserved audiences.. Pegasus Players began in June 1978, growing out of original student writings performed by faculty and students at the City Colleges. In 1984, the group found a permanent home at O'Rourke Center for the Performing Arts on the Truman College campus.
