From Oliver!: Melissa Compton, Olivia Raimondi and Yvette Ivy

Since Spotlight operates independently of a park district, school or any other organization, we rely on ticket sales and donations from patrons. Our reason for operating independently is simply that we strive to bring courageous and provocative entertainment to the south suburbs and believe that creativity should never be censored. We strive to present theatre from alternative viewpoints and encourage free thinking and open-mindedness in our community. Beyond that, we strive to challenge our actors and artistic crew with material that most members of the community would never have an opportunity to tackle. Although we operate independently, Spotlight is a registered charitable corporation. Last February, half the proceeds from our show Love…American Style! went to Redeemer Lutheran Church to benefit organizations such as PADS for the homeless and Alcoholics Anonymous.

Spotlight Theater was built on the support of volunteers and continues to grow as a result of their support. There are several different ways in which you may offer us your support:
