Court Theatre

Situated on the campus of the University of Chicago, this comfortable, 251-seat professional theatre is committed to discovering the power of the classics. Since Court’s founding in 1955, its work has been inspired by the belief that classic theatre illuminates the stories and themes that are timely and timeless. Each one of the provocative productions has guided artists and audiences on an exploration into the vast human consciousness, and has created a timeline that connects the present to the past.
