Circle Theatre Chicago founded in 1985 by Wayne Buidens, Joe Bass, and Karen Skinner is a theatre company in Oak Park and Chicago, Illinois.
A few years later, a fire destroyed the church and forced Circle to find its own space at 7300 Madison Street.
The company is noted for producing new works; Rebecca Gilman's The Glory of Living had its premier at Circle in 1996.
