League of Chicago Theatres Presents its Holiday Theatre Guide and Brings Back Half-Priced Holiday Tickets
This holiday season, Chicago theatres will present a wide variety of festive plays, musicals, dance, and comedy offerings. In support, the League of Chicago Theatres has again created a comprehensive Holiday Theatre Guide and announced the return of Half-Priced Holidays, via the League’s discount ticket program, Hot Tix.
From December 5-15, 2024, half-price tickets will be available for select productions, both holiday and non-holiday themed. 36 Chicagoland productions are participating, including the Goodman Theatre, Broadway In Chicago, Chicago Children’s Theatre, Drury Lane Theatre, Northlight Theatre, Ballet Chicago, and more.
“During this festive time of year, I’m reminded that the magic that unfolds on stage is something we can all share in, collectively,” noted League of Chicago Theatres Executive Director Marissa Lynn Jones. “These stories can make us feel at home, show us a new perspective, or teach us something new about ourselves. We hope that this guide and the ticket opportunities through Half Price Holidays will encourage people to appreciate the rich tapestry of human experience found through the theatre.”
Downtown theatregoers can see A Christmas Carol at the Goodman Theatre, Manual Cinema’s Christmas Carol at the Studebaker Theater in the Fine Arts Building, and obtain half-price tickets to Broadway In Chicago productions of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Yippee Ki Yay, and Rocky Mountain Experience: A John Denver Christmas.
Among the many productions throughout Chicago neighborhoods include Fraudulent LLC at Trap Door Theatre in Bucktown, It’s A Wonderful Life: Live in Chicago! at American Blues Theatre in Lincoln Square, and Royko: The Toughest Man in Chicago and Into the Woods, both playing at Chopin Theatre in Wicker Park and TUTA’s The Long Christmas Dinner at Bramble Arts Loft in Andersonville.
There’s even more happening in the suburbs, including Frozen at Paramount Theatre in Aurora, Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women at Northlight Theatre in Skokie, Disney’s The Little Mermaid at Drury Lane Theatre in Oakbrook Terrace, and Buffalo Theatre Ensemble’s The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberly at McAninch Arts Center in Glen Ellyn.
