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.

Last night, we opened TWISTED MELODIES, a stunning one-man show written and performed by Kelvin Roston Jr. The evening ended with a standing ovation and kicked off what we're sure will be an amazing run! We can't wait to see you at the theatre.
It’s opening night, and preview audiences have already been loving TWISTED MELODIES! See what they’re saying about Kelvin Roston Jr’s mesmerizing one-man show, and grab your tickets to see it yourself before August 10!
This summer, Northlight is offering three FREE theatre-based educational workshops in Evanston parks. The first workshop is all about eco-friendly theatre, and upcycling materials to build your very own puppet. Follow the link in our bio to register for this free, all-ages event. We can’t wait to see you there!
As TWISTED MELODIES has traveled to different theaters around the country, it has been given the Hathaway seal of approval from the Donny Hathaway Legacy Project. The DHLP was founded by Donny Hathaway’s daughter, Donnita Hathaway, who has seen every production of TWISTED MELODIES since it was performed at The Apollo Theatre! Click the link in our bio to learn more!
At long last, previews for TWISTED MELODIES have arrived! Lose yourself in the music of Donny Hathaway as you watch the artistic genius grapple with his inner struggles on the last day of his life. Kelvin Roston Jr is a musical talent that will not disappoint! Now playing until August 10.
