Northlight’s new home will be a stand-alone building housing a theatre with approximately 285 comfortable seats with excellent sight lines, state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems, a dedicated box office and contemporary bar/cafe in the lobby, a second floor rehearsal and event space, and lounge and gathering areas on the first and second floors, plus theater support spaces. Our desire is to create a dynamic performance, event, and educational environment that will serve Evanston, Chicago, and the entire Chicagoland area long into the future.

The new venue, located at 1012 Church Street, will open for performances in September 2026.
