The Stages Except for the first balcony row, every seat is great in the wide, comfy mainstage theater. An additional 200-seat studio theater is on the third floor. Separate restrooms and concessions on all floors makes intermissions surprisingly calm. The Shows Starting with its 1982 revival of Sam Shepard's "True West," the company has transferred several shows to... more

Founded in 1976, Steppenwolf Theatre is a Chicago institution that epitomizes the city's "rock 'n' roll" theater style. Actor-oriented and design-savvy, its well-mounted Equity productions take full advantage of the group's state-of-the-art complex.

Once a pioneer of bare-bones guerilla theater, Steppenwolf has moved firmly into the mainstream, with a state-of-the-art theater and production budgets as big as any in town. The company has garnered many national awards and has launched the careers of several respected and well-known actors, including John Malkovich, Gary Sinise, Joan Allen, John Mahoney (of Frasier ), and Laurie Metcalf (of ... more

Past It's Prime

Steppenwolf's real domain as a powerhouse basically ended around the mid-1990s. They have had occasional hits since then, but one expects more from a company with a reputation like theirs. It is my opinion that Steppenwolf Theatre is past its prime. Tickets are too expensive there to waste the money on a play that is completely untested or an old retread. If you want a great look into what... more

We recently used the Valet Service at The Steppenwolf when we dined at a nearby restuarant. When we came out to get our cars (2 if them), we were told one of the cars had been towed. After conversations with the Towing Company and a local police officer at the scene, and 45 minutes later we discovered that BOTH cars had been towed because they and many other cars were parked in a private... more

The Steppenwolf is one of the finest live theatre experiences you'll get in this city and possibly the country. I can't even rattle off to you how many performances I have gone to that have moved on to Broadway. I really love the small theatre upstair. It's a perfect place to see young and established talent and new works by emerging playwrites.
