The Steppenwolf Theatre, named after the book by Hermann Hesse, was co-founded by Gary Sinise in 1974 in a suburb outside of Chicago. The website for this fine theater (now based in Chicago proper) thoroughly catalogs its seasons in the "History" link under "The Ensemble" tab. Here, visitors will find the many productions the theater has performed since its inception, as well as information about cast members that have taken part in these artistic endeavors. In their fourth season they put on five productions, and added cast member John Mahoney, who is probably most recognized for his role as a cranky father and former police officer on the TV show "Frasier". The "Watch & Listen" tab offers a video peek inside a rehearsal of "Hot L Baltimore" directed by Tina Landau. There are also photo galleries, podcasts, and program articles that visitors can peruse in the "Watch & Listen" tab. The latest are listed first, but visitors can click on "View All" to see all that are available. Some of the latest podcasts include "Madison Dirks on Virginia Woolf" and "Stage Manager Malcolm Ewen on Steppenwolf".
