Discover the Iconic Briar Street Theatre 

Located in the heart of Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood, the Briar Street Theatre is a cultural gem beloved by locals and tourists alike. Housed in a historic carriage house built in the early 1900s, this intimate and quirky venue has been home to a variety of eclectic performances for over four decades. 

Briar Street Theatre's most extraordinary claim to fame began in 1997, when it became the long-term home of the world-renowned Blue Man Group, bringing avant-garde comedy, music, and multimedia magic to Chicago audiences nearly every night of the week. With its striking red brick façade and cozy yet electric atmosphere, Briar Street Theatre remains one of the city’s most distinctive venues for live entertainment. 

Whether you’re seeking an immersive sensory experience like the Blue Man Group or another bold and vibrant performance, Briar Street Theatre promises a night to remember.
