Chicago Theatre Week 2021

Join the League of Chicago Theatres for a reimagined Chicago Theatre Week in 2021! This year, take time to discover a new theatre company, experience virtual shows from your home, and help to strengthen theatres by donating the money you would have spent on Theatre Week tickets.

Like so many events recently, Chicago Theatre Week 2021 will look differently than it has the past 8 years. The shutdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which began shortly after Theatre Week 2020, has been especially hard on the theatre community and has lasted longer than ever anticipated. Theatres were some of the first to close and will be the last to re-open.

Many of our theatres are continuing to keep the spirit of Chicago theatre alive through connecting virtually with audiences through online performances and programs as well as developing opportunities to safely bring the community together in-person again.

We cannot wait to welcome you back into our theatres! Until then, we invite you to learn about, engage with, and donate to Chicago theatres during CTW in 2021.
