Over the years I have seen many plays at Victory Gardens. This is one of the places that if you are an aspiring Chicago playwright, you can get your play read and even performed.
You climb the stairs to enter a surprisingly intimate space. Sitting down, prepare yourself to be immersed in the magic of theater, Chicago style.
Now they are growing and I see on their website that they are talking about taking over the Biograph down the street. More power to 'em!

This may not be the most modern and state of the art facility in Chicago, but for me, part of the charm and appeal is that it's not a chain, or a cold, impersonal mega theater. Family owned theaters like this are a dying breed that should be celebrated. I will admit that the screen is on the small side and the sound system is not state of the art, but the prices are very reasonable and it has vintage photos and pictures lining the walls and takes you back to a simpler, happier time. The theater features all new releases for a lot less than the bigger theatres.

The new name for this historic theater and building is the LaSalle Bank Theatre. Did you notice how many banks and corporations are naming things after themselves these days. The theatre is celebrating it's 100th birthday this year. Beautiful architecture both inside and out grace this building that was first called the Majestic Theatre in 1906. Starting next month will be a play featuring the very funny and wacky Martin Short entitled Martin Short:Fame Becomes Me.

The first time I went here it was to see a live reading of a play. (A friend of mine is trying to be the next Hemingway and Spielberg and so he introduced me to the place). You just might get to see the next Hollywood superstar before they hit it big (or that's what they are hoping for at least). It's a great training ground for up and coming artists, and you can spend an enjoyable afternoon cheering them on inside the on site theater.

Stage Left, located on North Sheffield, may seem an unlikely spot to find great theatre in a town with such giants as the Goodman and Steppenwolf, but you'll be surprised at the high quality of the acting. I had gotten HotTix for a performance here, and was apprehensive of what would be delivered up when I entered the tiny staging area. Of course, sets are minimalist given the space limitations here, but that just brings the acting to the fore. You get raw theatre, and the acting shines. Best of all, it's affordable theatre that you don't have to break the bank to see. I encourage everyone to step out of their theatre comfort zone and give it a try. I was very surprised at the good quality of theatre there, and you will be too. Just give yourself plenty of time to find parking on the weekend, or better yet, cab it there.
