Where Chicago Theatre is Second to None!

Chicago TheatreWelcome to Steadstyle Chicago!  Chicago has long been renowned for its innovations in the arts and architecture.  While it has earned its nickname as the Second City, within the past two decades it has also become one of the most vital and important theatre cities in America.  Our downtown Loop is bustling with over a dozen major venues hosting a wide array of theatre and performing arts.  Broadway in Chicago brings the cream of Broadway plays and musicals to beautiful and historic venues, including the Auditorium, Cadillac Palace, LaSalle Bank (formerly Shubert) and Ford Center Oriental Theatres. 

Chicago hosts three Tony Award winning regional companies, the Goodman, Steppenwolf and Victory Gardens Theatres, all specializing in top quality, nationally recognized work.  The internationally acclaimed Chicago Shakespeare Theater on Navy Pier draws an eclectic audience to its beautiful courtyard style theatre and superb mountings of Shakespeare and eclectic family friendly fare.  Suburban enterprises such as the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire, Drury Lane Oakbrook, and Light Opera Works specialize in presenting the best musicals in the Chicagoland area. 

And, of course, the lifeblood of Chicago theatre is the Off Loop storefront companies that constantly introduce the gutsiest, most provocative and edgy work any serious theatre devotee could wish to see.  Read about them all at Steadstyle Chicago, and please visit our affiliate site Theatre in Chicago for complete listings, news, reviews and restaurant recommendations.  This site is intended to be both functional and aesthetically appealing.  You can now click on any photo on the site to get more information on the show!
