About The Den Theatre
In 2010, Ryan Martin rented a second floor with one room, and opened his very own theatre in Chicago’s Wicker Park. What was once a space without a name is now The Den Theatre, home to diverse and exciting theatre, events, and stand-up!
The Den Theatre believes in the power of human connection. Our mission is to bring artists and audiences together in the spirit of respect, empathy, and community. We are a center for entertainment and artistic expression, providing a warm and diverse environment where everyone feels welcome and empowered to gather, play, create and share.
