Theater Oobleck
Theater Oobleck is a theater troupe in Chicago. It began in the 1980s in Ann Arbor, Michigan, as Streetlight Theater. Theater Oobleck was co-founded by , Dave Buchen, Jeff Dorchen, Mickel Maher, and Greg Kotis.[1] The name "Oobleck" came from the 1949 Dr. Seuss book Bartholomew and the Oobleck. The troupe moved to Chicago in 1988, where it has continued to produce original scripts. Notably, Theater Oobleck works without a director.
Oobleck plays often feature famous historical or contemporary characters, juxtaposition, playful language, humor, and political thought.
