About Us

Officially founded in 2014, Surging Films & Theatrics is an independent theatre and film company that focuses on stage plays, musicals, video projects, and photography. Our team, led by Billy Surges, is dedicated to serving our three popular clientele - Artists, Audience, and Entrepreneurs. 

Our goal as a theater company is to take popular titles and reimagine them in smaller settings, allowing us to focus on creating the storytelling aspects in new and refreshing ways.  Taking a show that may not have translated well on Broadway and stripping it down to a bare bones, more accessible option for audiences to take in.


We are here to help take your business, art, or imagination from creative ground zero to something professional, memorable, and entertaining.

 

Our film sets and stage productions are inclusive and we pride ourselves on a positive working environment so creativity can perform at a high level. 

 

If you like what you see and are interested in learning more, please don't hesitate to contact us with your requests.  We look forward to working with you on your next endeavor and providing quality entertainment to our Chicago audiences!

We hope you can join us in any capacity!
