It was replaced with a jump activity place for young people, well really all ages. There is a bar area, however small. I was happy I pre-paid for tickets so we were able to go right to the ticket taker then onward to see the show. Decor is same as when it first opened, many pictures of stars and still has video - picture booth. Concessions: popcorn is great and concession staff is happy and helpful! I get the large popcorn so family can share, plus we get a refill which is nice. I have a movie member subscription so I was able to use my points for concession perks. Parking: parking is free if you validate your parking ticket. Theater is local and I will continue to attend and support this theater.

Check-in was complicated at Kiosk, no barcode found on Fandango App to scan and then when manually typed, it wasn't accepted as well so then went to a staff to obtain our in advanced purchased tickets. Then went to buy popcorn and a Diet Coke, we stood waiting at a booth window with many others for 5 minutes to receive our drink! Why in the world are not soft drinks serve yourself?! Insane. The worst part is that we reached our reserved seats and there was family with 3 young kids under 10 flashing on and off the lights that are attached to the seats and reclining the chairs up and down throughout the movie! We looked several times at the parents and they obviously did not respect others. Such a distraction and disappointment.

I've been a Northwestern alum for nearly 10 years, and I have never donated to the university (even…read morethough I work there, because hi, I'm still paying off student loans from my graduate degree). That said, I did decide to donate this year, mainly because I really wanted the cute Arch jigsaw puzzle, and I designated my donation gift to go to the Block Museum. This place is a hidden gem. I am OBSESSED with William Blake...like, I own his entire poetry collection and two coffee table art books (one of which is from the current Block exhibit -- Age of Aquarius -- that I had to buy after visiting). The current exhibit is freaking brilliant. It's so well done, amazingly curated and organized, and is really ingenious. I admittedly don't know much about art (I'm kicking myself now for never taking an art history class during my time at NU), but I've been to The Block several times over the years working there, and I'm ashamed I never went as an undergrad. Plus, hello, it's free. Always. Super happy to support them and cannot wait for their next exhibits. In the meantime, I have a hot date with Blake at least 2-3 times more before it closes, including some of the fun special events they have planned in collaboration with other parts of the university and members of the Chicago community.

I was so glad to support a local theatre. It was a terrific experience…read more The best part of this theatre is indeed how tiny it is - it feels intimate and so welcoming as a result. Walking in, multiple people greet you at the bar (drinks are donation-based and not fancy, per se, but you can get Kirkland brand wine or a local beer, so that's fine!). My ticket's barcode refused to print, but they found my ticket quickly. The stage itself is completely overlapping with the seating. In other words, you sit onstage: it's all one level. The seats, at least when I went, are all one row deep. It is great for short people like me, because we don't have to look over people in front of us. It is also great for tall people, who don't have blocked legroom of any sort (unless you have to pull in some long limbs if the actors are close enough to you where they might trip!). There are two large, ADA-compliant bathrooms, including one within the stage/seating area! Despite being a tiny theatre without a ton of publicity, you can still see brand new plays and similar works, as well as well established plays that have been performed worldwide. There is a personal, inclusive touch here, which is great to see. It was nice that the artistic director welcomed us all before the show started and gave us information about other upcoming productions!

When you walk in there is a bar and some tables but through the double doors, you'll find a 2nd bar with a speakeasy feel. When we checked in, we were assigned our tables.

We snacked on the crackers most of the show as there was quite a bit of pimento in the bowl. The show was great and was broken into 2 parts. There were a lot of great metaphors along with it being a very interactive show with the crowd. Many of the tricks and magic left us in complete awe. We can't wait to come back and see future shows!
