One of my favorite store front theaters in Chicago. Shattered Globe and Remy Bumppo work out of this space - that's top tier, award winning theater. They also have a great bar inside that serves real cocktails. Shows are usually around $35. Highly recommend.

Such a delightful place. The staff is so friendly. A Who Holiday with Veronica Garza was absolutely brilliant. Great drinks and pastries. Beautiful set and nice theater. Seats were very comfortable.

Just saw Household Spirits at Theater Wit. Phenomenal! Great performances, story and direction--in a comfortable, well run theater. And location is convenient to Northside neighborhoods and public transit--and the shows are a reasonable price for top quality work. You've got to check them out!

A nice, intimate setting to get up close and personal with your favorite play. The seating was very comfortable, so I never got stiff or achy. And at least the night I was there, I got my money's worth with the cocktail I bought. It was mixed so strong, I could only drink a third of it, and shared it with a friend so I was still able to drive home. :-)

Who’s Holiday is a perfect one woman show. Unexpectedly musical and comedic with heartbreaking moments. I want to watch it over and over again. Cindy Lou Who has grown on me.

Update Dec 2021: I'm glad the theatre was able to survive. I just watched Who's Holiday. A superb performance. The theatre is comfortable, wonderfully set, and all seats have great views. Are you visiting #chicago? Love #theater? A vega recommendation for a local Theatre bonanza. Witty. Hilarious. Dr. Suess grinch dark humor. More reviews in my blog are coming soon. Support local theatre. ~ Tridence. Original review: A tremendous local theatre as we saw Bonnie and Clyde. Great musical. Must see.

Intrigued by the description of the play Household Spirits. Pulled the trigger and bought tickets. Was blown away by the caliber of the play, the cast and the story line. A must see in my opinion. Seen many a play in my day, and this one was a stunner. Thank you Theater Wit.
