north shore center for the performing arts印象

I've seen a few Northlight Theatre shows here and they've all been great. Fine selection of plays and great actors. The seats are a bit cramped though.

The Northlight Theatre is one of two located in the building. It is basically a black box space. All of the seats have a good view though some can be a bit far to the right or left. so you kind of get a side view. I would certainly opt to get seats closer to center even if it means paying a premium..I have seen two performances here, one was terrific and and the other a disappointment. I think that you need to choose your performance wisely.The main theater is a traditional theater space. We usually come here about once a year. Usually to see some form of comedy, like a stand up comedian or the Capitol Steps. The theater is small and there isn't a bad seat in the house. I highly recommend row R. You can catch some pretty good B list acts here and don't have to deal with the hassle of city traffic and parking.

Just saw another play at the Northlight and it was terrific. We have attended this theatre dozens of times over the years. For us, it is convenient, the parking is available and free, the sight lines are good from anywhere in the house, and the volunteer ushers are helpful.

They have two theaters here, and can present in both without disturbing either one. Plays are contemporary and performers are current. During January, if you do like political satire and current events satire, THE CAPITOL STEPS perform. Prepare to laugh. "Lirty Dies" is a trademark of their show and is hysterical. Show is geared towards adults, but teens may like it. There is plenty of free parking. Valet parking is available.

My wife and I attended one of the North Shore Feature Series events in the Center Theatre. We had never been to this venue before, so I called the box office to ask a specific question about seating. We have a specific seating need, and the person I spoke with in the box office told me that if we booked seats in one of the boxes we would be ok. As it turns out, when we arrived at the theatre, we discovered that the person I spoke with in the box office had given me 100% incorrect information. The seating in the box was not as box office person had described it, so I was very upset about this. I don't know why they would bother giving me any answer at all, if they did not know the answer to my question. I went and talked to three different ushers. This was a complete waste of time, because talking to the ushers was like talking to people in nursing homes. They were not able to solve our issue, nor were they able to help get it resolved in any way. I finally tracked down one of the managers on my own, no thanks to any of the other employees that worked at this venue, and they were able to resolve our issue.We enjoyed the concert, but I was so embarassed by the seating situation, and frustrated by the bad information from the box office, and no help from the employees, that really took away from our enjoyment of the show. I'm not sure I would ever go through the hassle of returning to this venue again.

We've been to several plays and art shows here, and it's a good venue for both theater and nice open lobby space for art shows or events. They're attracting more and more quality shows over the years.

Close and free parking just outside the theater building. Clean and well maintained facility. The ushers and ticket takers were very eager to help and answer questions. We sat in the balcony and were satisfied, looked like you couldn't get a bad seat because theater isn't that big, medium sized. Sound volume and clarity was excellent. We were there to see Margaret Cho and her stand up comedy. We all laughed alot. At end of show it was easy to get out. No big confusing rush. Very nice venue.

There isn't a bad seat in the house, literally. SIte lines are all good and no seat is too, too far away from the stage. Very good acoustics. Adequate parking. Clean bathrooms. Elevator to 2nd level. Handicap accessible. They book good quality entertainment and the ticket prices are a fraction of what you would pay in downtown Chicago for a night out.

Saw "Stones in His Pockets". Great intimate theater. Ask about special "day of the show" ticket pricing.

This is a very cozy, well run venue. I have seen several productions here. On our last outing, to see Menopause, both my whiskey drink and my wife's red wine were spoiled. The whiskey, supposedly Jack Daniels, tasted like the leavings of several different whiskeys mixed up together. The wine was old and going to vinegar. The nice barkeep tried to make up by finding some Maker's Mark bourbon squirreled away, but that drink was also a spoiled mixture.For $8-10 per drink, they should open a fresh bottle, or use smaller bottles.Where is Bar Rescue when you need them?Enjoy the Show!
