WBEZ // Mike Davis and Amber Colón: In Albany Park, the creatives behind “Port of Entry” decided to remount the fully immersive play designed to put audiences into the lives, and homes, of immigrants.
Block Club Chicago // Leen Yassine: Performed across 12,000 square feet, the immersive youth-led production at Albany Park Theater Project is based on the real-life stories of Albany Park neighbors.
American Theatre Magazine // Emily McClanathan: “Albany Park Theater Project partnered with Third Rail Projects to create a new immersive production that invites audiences into apartments in one of Chicago’s most diverse neighborhoods.”
Albany Park Theater Project turned 25 on April 1, 2022. To celebrate we announced a year-long season that features our teen ensemble’s return to live performance, an immersive-theater-in-an-envelope experience that brings APTP to your mailbox, expanded programs for students in our neighborhood schools – and the premiere of an immersive performance that will be the most ambitious production in our 25-year history.
Wherever you are in the world, APTP’s 25th anniversary season offers ways for you to experience the stories of our community and the power and beauty of our teen artists.
Coming in 2022/23, Port of Entry will invite audiences to step inside the stories of immigrants from all parts of the world as they forge new lives within the walls of a single apartment building in one of the country’s most diverse immigrant communities.
