Introducing an innovative new performance venue coming to Navy Pier.
Announced
today: The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare, a forward-thinking new
performance venue slated to hold its first performance during the
Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s 2017-18 Season.
The Yard will be connected to the existing facility, which currently
houses two theaters, through expanded lobbies. The year-round, flexible
venue can be configured in a variety of shapes and sizes with audience
capacities ranging from 150 to 850, defining the audience – artist
relationship to best serve each production.
The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare is integral to Navy Pier's Centennial
Vision, a reimagining of the Midwest's most visited leisure destination
celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. The new and renovated
features are designed to expand Navy Pier's impact and audience,
showcasing a vibrant cultural, environmental, educational and
recreational landscape.
