"Experience driven. Audience first." Windy City Playhouse premiered in March of 2015, with the inaugural production END DAYS.

Windy City Playhouse, Chicago's newest not-for-profit Equity theater, aims to expand beyond the traditional theatergoing experience by offering audience members a night of high-quality entertainment with a full-service bar, in a lounge-like atmosphere. Lauded by audiences and critics alike, Windy City Playhouse promised to "rock Chicago's theater scene" with this "theater of a new order" (SPLASH Magazine).

Today we say a very bittersweet goodbye to our managing director, Evelyn Jacoby! Evelyn has served as Windy City Playhouse's managing director since its premiere in 2015, so to say we will miss her is an understatement. We are so lucky to have had her these past 8 years and can't wait to watch her flourish!
We're extremely happy she'll be joining our board of directors, so she won't be too far to offer us wisdom and encouragement. We love you, Evelyn!
