It’s clear to anyone who walks under the Arch and sees the endless banners and fliers — Northwestern has its fair share of student theater. And although there are a plethora of $5 tickets each weekend, sometimes it’s time to hop on the El and see what Chicago has to offer. The city offers shows on par with Broadway but without the hefty price tags. From Shakespeare to Mary Poppins to Rod Blagojevich, check out our interactive guide to Chicago’s theatrical fare.
Production by Tiffanie Green, Tom Giratikanon and Patrick St. Michel / North by Northwestern.
