In addition to our traditional programming, for the first time we also piloted a high school outreach program to share our message with the next generation. We plan to continue outreach programs like this in future years. The season kicked off in September 2016 with ourThe Great Gaymerican Songbook cabaret performance at Mayslake Peabody Estate in Oak Brook and the Uptown Underground on the north side of the city. Our holiday show Home for the Holidivas in December 2016 brought us to the Harris Theater, the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie, and the Beverly Art Center. Lipsticks & Lyrics: The Dragtones, our live singing drag show in February 2017, featured several iconic girl groups, to the delight of our audience in four shows at Uptown Underground. Finally, our spring show *B-Town: From Barbershop to Boybands in May 2017 brought us back to rock the Harris Theater, North Shore Center for the Performing Arts, and the Beverly Arts Center.

In 1941, the Auditorium Theatre closed its doors to the public in the wake of the Great Depression. Aside from when it was used as a servicemen’s center during World War II, the theatre sat unused and in disrepair, until a 7-year-long fundraising campaign – led by Beatrice Spachner and the Auditorium Theatre Council – covered the costs of theatre renovation, culminating with a grand re-opening on October 31, 1967.
