The Illinois Theatre Center (ITC) was a theater in the southern Chicagosuburb of Park Forest which began operation in 1976. In 1999, ITC moved to a state-of-the-art facility[1] in downtown Park Forest, Illinois from their previous location in the basement of the Park Forest Public Library.
In addition to its Mainstage series of six plays, ITC offered a Script-in-Hand series of play readings, a free summer outdoor Shakespeare production, and a Summerfest musical. The ITC Drama School offered several classes for adults, teens and children, as well as a summer arts camp, Project S.A.M. (Summer Arts Marathon).
In April 2012, faced with sizable debts due to drastically reduced ticket sales and donations, combined with the death of co-founder Etel Billig, the board of directors decided to close the theatre. The theatre had produced 247 Mainstage shows, 42 Summerfest shows, plus numerous workshops, children's theatre, etc.
