Under the multi-year deal, McCraney, Davis and their team at Chatham Grove will develop and produce projects across genres and formats for broadcast, cable and streaming platforms.
McCraney and Davis, who have been friends for 20 years, since meeting as undergraduates at The Theatre School at DePaul University, created Chatham Grove with the clear goal of creating content that promotes and is centered around voices and artists from communities that have been historically underrepresented and often marginalized.
“Glenn and I have dreamed about taking a step like this for as long as we’ve known each other,” McCraney said.
Added Davis, “Chatham Grove is more than just the expansion of our 20-year friendship and producing partnership. For Tarell and I, the company marks a natural next step in our evolution as storytellers and creative collaborators as we look to build an inclusive space that amplifies and uplifts marginalized voices through powerful, thought-provoking premium content.
Along with expanding his existing relationship with Steppenwolf, where he has been an ensemble member since 2017, Davis’ recent appointment to Artistic Director also marks the first time that a person of color has been name to the position in the company’s decades-long history. Davis is best known for his starring role opposite Robin Williams in the Broadway production of Bengal Tiger At the Baghdad Zoo.
