A few 'crumbs' about us
Born (or baked) in 1982, Chocolate Chips was invited in to Kennedy-King College (one of the City Colleges of Chicago) 1987 to become a resident arts organization. We are easily accessible for our field trips and public performances and tour the Chicagoland area and beyond, bringing our engaging productions to schools, day care centers, churches, libraries, as well as many of the major institutions.
Other noteworthy projects include commissions to develop productions for the Museum of Science and Industry, Shedd Aquarium and The Field Museum. The Company has received Jewel-Osco's "Hidden Jewel in the Community" Award and has produced Song On The Shore as its first CD.
