ABOUT THE ATHENAEUM THEATRE

For more than 100 years, the Athenaeum Theatre has stood as a cornerstone in the Lakeview neighborhood. Fr. George Thomas, the pastor of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in the early 1900s, envisioned a multi-purpose social and recreation center to serve the many needs of the expanding parish. Thanks in large part to the creative vision of Fr. Thomas, and his collaboration with architect Hermann J. Gaul on this ambitious project, the Athenaeum opened at the corner of Oakdale and Southport Avenues on November 18, 1911, (on the site of the original St. Alphonsus Church). The Athenaeum’s stage has seen almost every form of the arts on its famous stage including comedians, dance companies, politicians, spoken word, theatre companies and others.

 

Since 2011, Athenaeum Theatre Productions has managed the 66,000-square foot building providing affordable space for the arts, educational and social service communities. The building houses four performance spaces, offices for not for profit performing arts groups, rehearsal rooms, as well as a gymnasium. As Chicago’s longest operating off-Loop theatre, Athenaeum Theatre Productions brings vision, energy and drive to the ideal Lakeview location and has infused the Athenaeum with fresh, new energy and brought a wide and varied lineup of talent to perform on the Main Stage.

Live Review: @anthrax Bring 40 Years of Metal Thrashing Madness To Chicago. By Christopher David When it comes to sustaining a career, forty years is a long time. And when that career involves constant touring, it becomes one hell of a long time.
