Your Visit

"People are always blown away by the grandeur of this theater. 
Add in the best front-of-house operation in the city, and you have a gem.
"
Chicago Tribune

Chicago Shakespeare Theater serves as the cultural anchor of historic Navy Pier on downtown Chicago's lakefront. The Pier is easily accessible by car, public transportation or taxi. Chicago Shakespeare patrons always enjoy guaranteed discount indoor parking in the Navy Pier garages, making it one of the "easiest" nights out in town.

We often hear from audience members who share their enthusiasm about a particular production or praise the exceptional service provided by our staff. These are the true hallmarks of a Chicago Shakespeare experience, and we are committed to providing you with that distinctive brand of excellence each time you attend the Theater. Here you can find information about our dynamic theater spaces, engaging audience enrichment programs and expanded Access Shakespeare program for patrons with disabilities.
