A.B.L.E.’s ensembles produce between 2 and 4 projects each season. These range from original productions devised by the actors to classical pieces from the likes of Shakespeare, Dickens, and Gilbert & Sullivan.

These special one-night-only productions are staged at professional theatres all around the city of Chicago, allowing the company to reach new audiences with each show.
