Northlight Theatre is a professional, non-profit theater company currently located in Skokie, Illinois at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts. Northlight produces five mainstage productions each year with a spectrum of work ranging from timely world premieres to refreshed classics. It is one of the largest nonprofit theatres in the Chicago area with over 6000 subscribers, serving audiences totaling over 50,000 each season.

In addition to the mainstage season, programming includes workshops and readings of new works, audience outreach to Veterans and many other groups, a summer performing arts camp, and a comprehensive arts education program for underserved middle and high school students.

Upcoming performances include:

LANDLADIES (3/14 to 4/20): Self-made landlord Marti and her new tenant Christine have a lot in common, but lines are blurred when they find that “getting ahead” and friendship don’t always mix. These two women reveal the desperation and the ingenuity of people who know the value of having a home, and the threat of losing one.

INTO THE BREECHES (5/9 - 6/16): It’s 1942 and with the men off at war, the Oberon Play House season will be canceled… until the director’s wife rallies the troops at home for an all-female production. With the opportunity to move from the sidelines to centerstage, the women forge ahead with a spirit of collaboration, and a belief in the power of art to move us forward.
