Briar Street Theatre

Tucked into Lakeview, the Briar Street successfully combines the best features of a small neighborhood theater with the more popular aspects of the Loop's grander showcases. This is a fine line to tread and for many years, it has done so successfully. The theater tends to present a mix between mainstream and more controversial fare. The popular Blue Man Group has been playing to sold-out crowds for over a year and continues to be held over.
