A 984-seat proscenium auditorium attached to a Catholic church, this theater (which now includes three studio spaces) has long served as an outlet for community and professional theater and is a primary venue for the eclectic fare presented by Performing Arts Chicago. The studio has been rented to various plucky non-Equity theater companies and occasionally showcases commercial ventures as well as dance recitals.
