the side project

This tiny Rogers Park venue seats fewer than 30 people, yet you’ll consistently see some of the most interesting under-the-radar projects, including a host of small-but-daring new works. And a number of young storefront troupes, including LiveWire Chicago Theatre and Tympanic Theatre Company, can be seen experimenting here or across the street in the even-smaller second space, the side studio. What’s more, a full roster of rotating programming in certain parts of the year makes this among the only theaters in the city to feature shows seven nights a week.
