The Best Storefront Theater In Town! Chicago Tribune
Because of our family of donors, Theater Wit has become a landmark destination in Chicago for the best neighborhood theater experiences. We produce our own smart, funny premiere works and also curate opportunities for other producing entities, artists, audiences, and the larger community to connect in new and meaningful ways.

Some people wonder, “if I buy tickets, why are you also asking me to donate?” It’s a good question and the short answer is...a thrilling theatrical experience exceeds what we can charge for tickets. Ticket sales help measure the success of our work but they do not cover the majority of costs needed to put that work onstage. To do that, we’d have to ask for hundreds of dollars per ticket and expect that no one could come. That sounds like a terrible theater to us.
Instead, we ask for your partnership as a donor. And because of Theater Wit’s signature Smart Art organizational model, you can know that 100% of your contributions are going toward the art.
Please, make a donation today. Join one of our giving circles through a one time gift or a monthly gift over time. Monthly giving is a convenient and impactful option for those who like to give smaller amounts at a time and monthly giving donors may cancel the monthly pledge at any time.
