About the Organizations:
High Concept Labs, Homeroom, Comfort Station, and Rough House Puppet Arts are independent Chicago arts nonprofits. Together, we support artists in creating experimental work across disciplines: music, dance, visual art, poetry, puppetry, and more. We believe joint fundraising is a smarter, more efficient model to grow our collective capacity and cross-pollinate audiences.

Fireside Bowl is wheelchair accessible, and a ramp is available to access the bowl platform. However, there are no rails or other adaptive bowling equipment available. For any additional accessibility requests or questions, please contact HCL’s accessibility coordinator, Angee Lennard, at angee@highconceptlabs.org or 312-374-1117.
