Celebrating Edgewater's Theatres

Edgewater is one of the most active communities in Chicago supportive of small and midsized theatres. Over the past 100 years, more than 50 theatre companies have performed in Edgewater.

Their missions, audiences and performance spaces are diverse and bring people together of all ages. In return, theatre has greatly enhanced the lively and thriving community of Edgewater.

The exhibit will feature references to all of the theaters, including playbills, posters, photos,artifacts, costumes, video interviews and a children’s corner of exploration. In addition, a yearlong series of programs is planned, which will include lectures, backstage theatre tours, and a continuation of our Evening Salon series.
