Surging Films & Theatrics' journey began over a decade ago with a joint production of Spring Awakening in 2014 (co-produced with Introspect Theatre) in Naperville, Illinois.

​

In 2015, SF&T made their way to Oak Park and provided two incredible seasons of shows at Madison Street Theater.  Many of those performers from the first three years are still performing with us to this day.

​

In 2017, SF&T made the jump to the city of Chicago and made camp at the Prop Thtr for two more amazing seasons while also working on productions in the suburbs at Harper College.

​

In 2019, The Edge Theater in Chicago became SF&T's home base. Since 2019, Surging has bounced back from the Covid shutdown, produced multiple Jeff-nominated productions, and continues to provide a professional, non-equity experience to recent college graduates and performers looking to gain experience before taking their talents to the next level.  Many Surging company members have gone on and had Regional and Broadway success.  We hope to continue fostering a safe space for Chicago performers to grow and showcase their art.

​

In addition to our theatrical endeavors, we also work on corporate commercials, independent films, documentaries, school projects, and many other video and photography gigs.  

​

Lastly, our event planning services are top notch. Let us plan your next event or run your next festival or installation! 

​

Whether it be film, theater, or live events - you're in good hands here at Surging!
