Chicago Shakespeare Theater

Chicago


Snuggled into a beautiful glass home on Navy Pier, this company is at the top of its game, presenting works from the Bard that are fresh, inventive and timeless. In summer the group puts on Shakespeare in the Parks – free performances of one of Will's classics that travel to more than a dozen neighborhoods.

The theater has added a performance space called the Yard. It hides under the white canopied 'tent' you see on the pier. It's architecturally unique in that it can change its shape and size (thanks to movable seating towers) to match whatever the current production requires.
