About Chicago Writers’ Bloc: This IRS‑designated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization was founded 35 years ago. As one of Chicago’s most enduring incubators for new play development, it has helped inspire thousands of scripts to grow through its community workshops and has presented hundreds of staged readings at theaters across the city, with many moving on to full productions nationwide. Chicago Writers’ Bloc continues to champion new voices and expand the landscape of American theater.
