About the Business
Theatre Y is a unique institution located in Chicago, Illinois, that aims to participate in the lives of its community in meaningful ways.

Through its various programs and events, Theatre Y strives to manifest imagined realities and promote a sense of global citizenship to better understand our shared humanity.
One of Theatre Y's popular events is the Monday Night Buzz, where musicians, artists, and critical thinkers come together in a salon-type atmosphere to exchange ideas, celebrate, and uplift each other. Additionally, Theatre Y hosts a variety of events throughout the month, such as The Feature, The Exhibition, The Punchline, and The Soul Salad, featuring interviews, live performances, dance showcases, comedy nights, and musical offerings.
Theatre Y also operates a program inside the Stateville Correctional Facility, affirming the theater as a ritual and catalyst of public dialogue and making performances accessible to all. The institution operates under a membership model similar to NPR's Public Access Membership, where members donate monthly to support the work offered free to the public.

Reviews
"Went here for an underground EDM show and it was okay. Not accessible bathrooms and seems to need a sweep or so. Fit the vibe of the night but can't imagine this place being used for anything else. Service is bad once you go any level lower as well."
"We had an amazing time at Lyrical Workout"
"Awesome karaoke on the first Monday of the month"
"Theater Y is committed to providing free theater to the community. I have been to three productions there, and each production I have seen stays with me. I will say, though, that all the shows I have watched at Theater Y are intense and tragic. Maybe those are just the shows I have seen!"
"An amazing Europhilic production company. I saw quite a few of their productions in 2015: most memorable was Melissa buried in a mountain of CRTs in Beckett's HAPPY DAYS, which was entirely mind blowing. I still haven't recovered. Their real skill is in exposing what often seems so dead on the page to live audiences. Far more hit than miss. Doing it right, I would say."
