Civic Leaders and Elected Officials Gather for Beam Signing at The Yard on Navy Pier

Chicago Shakespeare Theater and Navy Pier mark the next phase of construction for an innovative new performance venue The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare, which further establishes a vibrant, year-round cultural hub on Navy Pier. The Chicago Shakespeare Board of Directors, campaign donors, civic leaders and the Theater staff will leave their mark during a "Beam Signing" on a structural component of the innovative new venue.

The Yard will be the Theater's third stage and, together with its two existing performance spaces, will amplify the artistic vision and community impact. Introducing a new trend in theater architecture to Chicago, the design features a series of mobile "towers" that allow for The Yard to be configured in a variety of shapes and sizes, with audience capacities ranging from 150-850.

The signing will take place at Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Thursday, September 8, 800 E. Grand Avenue. on the future stage of The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare.
