Running from Thursday, February 8 to Sunday, February 18, more than 100 performances will hit the stage at theaters across the city with value-priced tickets.

Presented by the League of Chicago in partnership with Choose Chicago, this marks the 12th year of the famous event, allowing visitors to indulge in a range of theatrical performances throughout the Chicago area. Chicago Theatre Week aims to expand the theater community throughout the city and celebrate the arts.
