We’re celebrating our first ever Old Town Theater Week beginning Sunday, April 15 through Saturday, April 21. This celebration of our robust theater community, presented by the Old Town Merchants & Residents Association, will include week-long deals across Chicago’s historic Old Town neighborhood allowing residents and visitors a chance to experience Old Town’s historic theater scene. Get a laugh at the iconic Second City Theater, check out the latest and greatest stand up at Zanies, get ready for some action-packed comedy at Batsu!, or perhaps check out a beautifully written play at The Red Orchid Theater. Whatever your plan is, there is a show every night in Old Town, and we’re excited to share our appreciation for the arts in our community with you.
