Chester Theatre Company announces two unique travel experiences for theatre lovers: The 2016 Theatre Tour to Chicago,October 18-23, 2016, and the 2017 Theatre Tour to London, March 11-19.

Producing Artistic Director Daniel Elihu Kramer leads the tours. "Years of experience have helped us find the optimum balance between structured and free time," he said.
