The Building Stage is a unique venue. Intimate and expansive. Rough and polished. It is one of the most flexible blackbox theaters in the city. And it plays host to a variety of events: original creations made onsite by the Building Stage company, productions by visiting companies (including many of the top Chicago off-Loop theaters), as well as a variety of free experimental events.

Once considered "off the beaten path," the Building Stage is quickly becoming the place to see the best of Chicago's off-Loop theater scene.
