Chopin Theatre

Chopin Theatre is a performance venue in Wicker Park with two performance and event spaces of different sizes. The main hall accommodates around 226 guests, while a separate black-box studio space hosts smaller productions with around 175 seats.

Built in 1918, the theater established itself as a cultural gathering place in Chicago's performance community. Over more than a century, it has weathered various phases of urban renewal and artistic developments.

The venue hosts productions that draw local audiences and shape the artistic identity of the neighborhood. Performances span diverse genres and themes that resonate with the community.

The theater sits at the corner of Division Street and Milwaukee Avenue in the heart of the neighborhood. Visitors can easily reach the building on foot and find plenty of food and drink options nearby.

The two performance spaces of different sizes enable multiple productions to run simultaneously. This allows the venue to present various artistic genres and experimental works side by side.
