Skokie Theatre - Performing Arts Center — Attraction in Niles Township

I never cease to be amazed at the various theatre, comedy, and musical productions presented at Skokie Theatre by Madkap Productions. Together, they create shows that garner positive, glowing reviews, from ever increasing audiences, in a limited performance space, with open, general admission seating. This is my 2nd year as a subscriber, and with all the theatres in Chicago, there are plenty of choices closer to my home in Rogers Park.

Plus, I also make donations to them whenever possible. If you love and support regional theatre as much as I do, you'll love Skokie Theatre and Madkap Productions. They're an amazing, growing, and ever evolving partnership that I feel are definitely worthy of your support. Thank you for considering...

There's Duffy's down the street for drinks before the show, and well-reviewed places in the area for an early or late dinner (Latin American, Afghan, etc.) before or...

I have seen this production numerous times and this one in particular was ok.

Just a bit bummed that the song sung by Christmas Eve was changed lyrically. The name of the song is “The more you “Rov” someone”. She sang it actually saying the word Love and over annunciating it. That completely took the humor out of song and character. It is written that way for a reason, Not sure why that direction was chosen. Otherwise it was a...
