Steep Theatre

Located just down the street from its former storefront, Steep’s new space will feature a flexible 70-seat black box theater and a lobby lounge. In the company’s 25 years in Chicago, Steep has produced more than 80 plays, earned 63 Jeff Award nominations and won 12 Jeff Awards.

Civic has worked with Steep since early feasibility studies to the design and construction of its new residency in a former Christian Science Reading Room in Edgewater. The design concept centers around providing a place for the audience and actors to come together in the lobby lounge. The project features a new welcoming entry for audience goers while providing key areas for the ensemble.
