Located in Chicago’s Arcadia Terrace neighborhood across the street from the Budlong Library, it includes a 137-seat proscenium theater, an 80-seat flexible studio theater, well-appointed dressing rooms, admin offices, and a multifunctional lobby space.
This adaptive reuse of a banal one-story retail building provides a model for creating robust cultural venues from the ubiquitous big box suburban blight. Construction was completed in November of 2023.
