Steppenwolf Theater

This legendary name in Chicago theater was founded by Terry Kinney, Gary Sinise and Jeff Perry in a church basement. It quickly outgrew one space after another, won a Tony award for regional theater excellence, and is now a leading international destination for dramatic arts. Among the many famous alums who have gone on to illustrious careers are John Malkovich, Gary Cole and John Mahoney. Productions are of the highest quality. A tip to save dough: the box office releases 20 tickets for $20 for each day’s shows. They go on sale at 11am Monday to Saturday and at 1pm Sunday, and are available by phone. They go fast.
