Chicago's theaters are spectacular. Some find the buildings are so stunning that they are worth the ticket price themselves. But you won't be disappointed by the theaters' offerings. We run pre-Broadway and post-Broadway plays. And, we have plenty of plays that aren't commerical enough to "make it" in the Big Apple- which we treasure dearly.

Throw in a donkey who won’t shut up, a bad guy with a SHORT temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero.
