Welcome To The  

HISTORY

In 1898 The Fine Arts Building created the historic Studebaker Theater. Originally built to house vaudevillian performances, but expanded into large productions in the 1920’s. During the subsequent years performances by Bob Hope, Peter O’Toole, and Vincent Price graced the stage with their immense theatrical skills. The Studebaker Theatre continued on throughout the years for being known as one of the most important live venues in the

City of Chicago.
