Chicago is known nation-wide for its iconic storefront theatre - where you'll walk into an intimate 50-100 seat theatre and experience award-winning knock-your-socks off acting and theatrical design in an innovative, jaw-dropping production. With close to twenty theatre companies based in Edgewater, the neighborhood is a hotbed for the type of theatre that's put Chicago on the map, and this summer it's getting even easier to explore The Edgewater Theatre District!
Introducing: The Edgewater Theatre District Passport!
Just like a coffee shop punch card, the Theatre District Passport can be stamped each time a Passport-holder sees a play at a participating Edgewater theatre, and after five stamps the sixth play will be free! Passport cards will be available at all participating theatres, and the attendees at EdgeFest (August 6-7) can be the first to get their hands on a Passport by visiting the Theatre District's festival lounge. The Theatre District Passport will help Edgewater residents and visitors alike explore the neighborhood's incredible theatre scene.
From theatre for young audiences, to literary adaptations, to side-splitting comedy, to edgy contemporary drama,
The Edgewater Theatre District has something for everyone, and with nearly twenty theatres in one neighborhood, a great play is never far away. Just like the neighborhood, Edgewater's theatres are friendly, down to earth, and incredibly affordable. Most theatre tickets in Edgewater cost less than a movie, and all offer an unforgettable experience.
The Edgewater Theatre District is a collaboration between
The Edgewater Chamber of Commerce and the nearly 20 theatres that call Edgewater home. Learn more at
