Witt Theater Reviews

This place does not support free speech and I m not talking about hate speech, FREE SPEECH, canceling an event for LGBT community that believes in free thinking individuals! Spineless event center!

Comfortable, small theater with professional performances

We saw This Bitter Earth. Awesome play. Great acting. A fun night out.

Very disappointed that they would opt out of a signed contact in which a town hall style meeting was to be held because of inaccurate information. Both panel members and guests missed out.

Cowardly place that caved to political propaganda and banned a LGBTQ+ panel from hosting a town hall after taking the money and signing the contract. These people are cowards and part of the people sowing political and social division by working to silence those with an opinion that differs from theirs. They also do this at the last possible minute to make it that much harder for those trying to speak to be able to find a replacement venue. I find this despicable behavior. I will never try to rent this venue or participate in an event at this venue ever again. They have declared their position as anti 1st amendment, anti LGBTQ+ and anti American.

Good theater in small space. Friendly staff, good transportation, interesting productions from multiple theater companies.

Theater wit is such a local Gem! Awesome theater in an intimate setting in a location with super convenient for parking and amazing restaurants nearby. I can't recommend this place enough we had such a wonderful time!

Nice place, but gets very crowded when waiting for a show.

Admissions is a great show, well-acted and well-produced.

I have seen some of the best performances at theater Wit

Loved the play, courteous staff and open seating . Will be back again ! Wonderful acoustics !

Beautiful and functional set designs. Edgy productions and comfortable seating.

Great local theater venue. Supportive of many companies and new work. All the Productions I've seen there are High Caliber. Plus they have a good bar. Tickets very affordable

I stand for the LGBTQ community in all places including the conservative voice. It is disgusting that you did not allow the #Walkaway event take place so that the LGBTQ conservative community could come together in a safe place to talk about the issues that they desperately need to discuss. Theater Wit is absolutely NOT a friend of the LGBTQ community and they are indeed Fascists.

Dusgusting what you did to Brandon and the LGBT walkaway movement. Would have given 0 stars if I could have. Shame on you!!!

Amazing actors! Great play! Street parking available, restaurant next door $8 parking.

Never book this place as a venue. They ll cancel on you at the last minute. Then they ll publicly defame you. Looking forward to the lawsuit.

Small regional theatre at its best.
Multiple stages in a well maintained house.
Staged on small stages with well used space. Sound small stages productions.

Their production of Admissions features an all-time awesome rant.

I have seen two plays here so far and loved them both!

Ok.. but too small need to improve a lil more and post more sings..lol

Cancelled an event and silenced LGBTQ people at an event I wanted to attend for political reasons. Would never go here again. Jeremy Wechsler is responsible for silencing gay and trans people.

It's a great theater, bar upfront to grab drinks and snacks (no major food though so don't come hungry). The seats are fairly comfortable but if you are coming after work like I was, expect to be a little cramped. The set was great and I would definitely go back depending on the production.

This place is way over priced, Weak expensive soda, & Dirty. Boring , I Will NOT recommend.

Great Howard's End production in an intimate setting.

This theater discriminates against LGBTQ. Will never step foot in this place again.

great local theatre. saw bonnie and clyde there. great musical. must see.

Have seen two fabulous plays at Theater Wit. And one not so fabulous. I admire their willingness to take on unusual subjects. The production values are excellent for such a small operation. The whole place clearly runs on a shoestring budget but is designed to serve the community by providing space for other small companies to rent for productions. Kudos to Theater Wit.... Cannot comment on over priced drinks but my experience with lobby drinks from opera to movie houses is they always cost a fortune so wouldn't be surprised if that were the case here.

Intimate setting, professional staff, strong Good drinks

Multiple live theatres, shared by several terrific local professional companies. Bar in lobby.

Excellent seating, excellent shows. A true gem in Chicago theatre

Great little spot to see wonderful Theater in Chicago. Lots of different options in 3 seperate theaters inside.

If you have a contact with them already signed and they find they dont agree with you politically... they will cancel ypur event the day before the event. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THESE LOSERS

Saw a great magic show and my son (the birthday boy) got to be a party of the finale!
Also i wanted to mot that they had a funeral service happening in the next room. Unusual but i think its useful information.

Quite different from your average black box. Seating is nice (though the stage is shallow enough that unless you're in the front row your view is significantly obstructed by audience members) and lobby is a bit small, making for a tight intermission.

Never seen a bad production here. They have exceptional programming, a clean facility and a friendly staff. It can get crowded but that s always an exciting energy to be around when you re at the theatre. I would say, if it s playing at the Wit - you should definitely get tickets. Extraordinarily, David Cromer directed a production of The Normal Heart that blew me away.

Saw an excellent Shattered Globe performance last night. Be Here Now starring Rebecca Jordan. It was very well done and very well received by the audience.

Liberals are the most intolerant group on the planet. The owner broke a contract because he didn't agree with Brandon Straka's political affiliation. Liberals believe free speech only applies to them and will do anything to silence an opposing opinion. AVOID THIS DUMP OF A THEATER AT ALL COSTS!!!

They discriminate against LGBT people who wanted to hold a free speech event. If you spend any money at this place you are supporting bigots. #walkaway

This embodies the best of what a small independent theater should be! When I was there, there was a musical showing and an opera! There are several small theaters, a very decent snack bar, and reasonable prices. If I lived in ther Chicago area, I would absolutely become a member, just for all the choices, and to support them!

An intimate theater with high production value. I saw a production of significant other here in December and I was moved not only by the content of the show but by the immersive experience of the theater! I found the staff to be friendly, engaging and helpful. Drink prices were a little steep but worth it for a night out.
