FUTURE HOME IN EVANSTON
Northlight’s bold vision is to build a world-class theatre in Evanston, the vibrant community where Northlight began in 1974. With a new theatre in downtown Evanston, we will entertain and inspire audiences with compelling new and existing work. We’ll nurture and grow the next generation of theatregoers, expand our civic impact, spark economic development, and serve as a cultural hub for the entire community.

This holiday season, Northlight will be raising money for Season of Concern.
Season of Concern was founded in 1987 to support Chicago theater practitioners afflicted with AIDS and AIDS-related illnesses. Thankfully, as the AIDS crisis has become more manageable, they are able to expand their services to meet the day-to-day needs of theater artists who are impacted by any illness, injury, or health-related circumstance that prevents them from working. Support the artists who bring your stories to life this holiday season by dropping us a donation when you attend GASLIGHT!
