The Auditorium Theatre and Rivers Casino Present Sixth Annual DEVIL'S BALL This Fall

The Auditorium Theatre's Auxiliary Board and Rivers Casino bring "Masquerade" to this National Historic Landmark with the sixth annual Devil's Ball, Friday, September 23 from 7:30 - 11PM.

For the first time, the event will be held on the Auditorium's Landmark Stage, making this iconic theatre - a 126 year old building designed by the great Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan - one of the most stunning backdrops of any party in Chicago!

Party guests will enjoy fabulous food, an open bar, tours of the theatre, and dancing right on the same stage where Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Jack White, and Alvin Ailey once stood! As in years past, The Devil's Ball will also feature "surprise" pop-up entertainment. All proceeds go to support the continued preservation of the Auditorium Theatre, as well as the Auditorium's diverse creative engagement programs.

Tickets go on sale Wednesday, August 3 at 10AM and are $65 through Friday, September 2. Tickets are $75 through Thursday, September 22 at midnight, and are available the day of the event and at the door for $85.

Tickets are available online at AuditoriumTheatre.org, by phone at312.341.2300, and in person at 50 E Congress Pkwy.

"The Devil's Ball has become one of Chicago's most anticipated events in Chicago each fall," said Auditorium Theatre Auxiliary Board Chair Dillon Goodson. "This year, we are thrilled to move this event onto the Auditorium's hallowed stage, a unique and distinctive setting that few people get to experience."
