2 Tickets to Any Main Stage Performance at Athenaeum Theatre.

The Athenaeum Theatre is Chicago’s oldest continuously operating Off-Loop theatre. Most of the founding parishioners of St. Alphonsus were German and German-American, and conceived a neighborhood playhouse where they could enjoy performances of their beloved operas. Consequently, the Athenaeum was designed with not only opera in mind, but dance, orchestral, and dramatic productions as well. The Main Stage of the Athenaeum seats 985, with seating on the main floor, lower balcony, and upper balcony. Thanks to a unique design where the balcony extends approximately 2/3 over the main floor, the Main Stage offers an intimate setting that belies the grandeur of the theatre. Even a seat in the corner of the upper balcony rests only 95 feet from the stage. With no barriers, like columns or pillars, to obstruct the view of the stage, patrons in the Main Stage enjoy not only its magnificent acoustics, but also clear sight lines from every seat. Athenaeum patrons can also partake of refreshments before and during performances from the Curtain Call Club, the cabaret space located just off the lobby.
