Four walls. A stage. And everything else.
In April 2010, Theater Wit completed its renovation of 1229 W Belmont, a building with a proud history as a center for the performing arts in Lakeview for the last 20 years. The new building includes:
Theater Wit has a new home!
- Three performance spaces
- Computerized lighting and sound equipment
- Fully renovated lobby with a wine and coffee bar
A community center
The space is home not only to Theater Wit, but three other resident companies, all bringing a remarkable history of vivid and exciting work to our stages. In addition, we rent out our space at competitive rates to visiting producing companies, guest artists, late and off-night productions and community groups.
Performance Venues
We have three beautiful black box theatres seating up to 98 patrons each. Theatre One and Two are proscenium spaces, Theatre Three is a flexible performance space. Rentals include phone and online box office, lobby access and in building display.
