Victory Gardens Theatre (Chicago). During the first three decades of its existence, this company has produced more world premieres than any other group in the city. Founded in 1974 by eight Chicago artists, the company has emphasized new plays from the beginning. Under the leadership of Marcelle McVay and Dennis Zacek (who continues to be artistic director), dozens of American playwrights have seen their work first staged there, including Steve Carter, Jeffrey Sweet, Lonnie Carter, Rick Cleveland, and James Sherman. The troupe received the regional theatre Tony Award in 2001.
