Essential Invisible
Our Mission
Essential Invisible Productions is an emerging theater company in Chicago, Illinois. We are dedicated to the exploration and celebration of the things that are essential to our livelihood as human beings, but we cannot hold in our hands: pride, family, love, companionship, kindness, generosity, and more.
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.
The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Arachne by Annemarie Andaleon
Dir. by Olivia Wheeler
Arachne was not a name meant to be remembered. Another daughter to a poor shepherd, her only notable quality was her talent in weaving.
Then Athena, the Goddess of weaving and the patron of heroes, recognized her talent and made the mortal an offer: become her protege, and be remembered as the greatest weaver in history.
This sapphic retelling of Book 6 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses follows the relationship between the Goddess of Weaving and her most famous challenger, marred by love, ambition, and pride.
