Chicago Street Theatre is celebrating its 57th season of producing first-class live theatre for Valparaiso and the greater Northwest Indiana region. Our award-winning theatre company began a new chapter of its history in 1997 when we purchased the Chicago Street Theatre, located at 154 West Chicago Street in Valparaiso, Indiana. The theatre underwent an extensive renovation completed February 1, 2008. The theatre lobby, auditorium, and bathrooms were re-designed by the Chicago firm Morris Architects, and construction was expertly managed by Winona Lake Restoration. The intimate 130-seat theatre now features brand new stadium seating that makes it an incredible space to enjoy live theatre.
