Isabel Estelle (they/them/theirs) is a trans playwright and actor based in Oregon and Minneapolis. Isabel's work primarily centers q***r and womens' stories and aims to explore the overlaps between humor, grief, and magic. Their goal as a playwright is to tell stories about human experience in a way that leans into live theater's specific strengths as a medium, and embraces our thousands of years long connection with music, movement, and playing pretend.

Celebrating 22 years

Twenty-two years ago on July 29, 1998, The Chameleon Theatre Circle opened its first show A Midsummer Night's Dream. Twenty-two years. When the show opened we knew this company was going to be something special and that has been proven time and time again through the passion, commitment and community that have formed the Circle. None of this would have been possible without all of you supporting the company throughout the years by being a patron, participant, performer, artist, designer, member, financial supporter, volunteer or advocate.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of The Chameleon Theatre Circle we want to say thank you. Thank you for helping create and being part of our legacy. A special thank you goes out to all who have served on our Board of Directors and our Chameleon Volunteer award winners listed below. These individuals have poured their hearts and souls into The Chameleon Theatre Circle and they have left their handprint on the heart of the company.

Twenty-two years. It is an amazing and humbling number and is an incredible reminder that when a group of passionate individuals comes together for a shared purpose dreams really do come true. On behalf of Board of Directors - thank you. We can't wait to see what the next twenty-two years brings.

Onwards and Upwards!
