Mission

The Landless Gentry are a new Commedia troupe in Chicago, dedicated to bringing performances to parks around the city.

Our philosophy is simple: funny is good.  There is no topic that we deem "sacred", because once you put something above laughter, it stops being a human experience.

We put people first.  When we receive money in our hats from park performances, the first place that money goes is right back to the performers who earned it.  We believe that theatre is, first and foremost, a collaboration of artists and that those artists deserve as much compensation as they can get.

We're here to bring Chicago a different class of vagabond.  A new type of wandering minstrel.  A shiny-new and musty-old kind of street theatre.  A Landless Gentry.
