About Us

 

TesserAct Theatre Ensemble is a non-for- profit organization that prides itself on being "The place where community and performing arts meet." We are a family friendly ensemble that strives to produce quality live entertainment for the community while building intergenerational bonds of our performers.

 

Founded in Palatine in 1993 by Tamara Jackson-Kist, a community theater based on the term from the book "A Wrinkle in Time", by Madeline L'Engle.

 

A Tesseract is the fourth dimension, the bridge, the wrinkle allowing you to cross from one place to another, one time to another.
