Event Details
The season opens with ON GOLDEN POND, the touching, funny, and warmly insightful story that went from a Tony Award on Broadway to the Oscar winning film, running February 26 through March 29. Overflowing with heart and humor, the extraordinary new Broadway musical, BIG FISH, will inspire audiences to live life to the fullest May 7 to June 7. Fans of “the King” of Rock n’ Roll will be thrilled to join in song and dance at ALL SHOOK UP! THE MUSIC OF ELVIS PRESLEY. Inspired by the movies and songs of Elvis Presley as well as the William Shakespeare comedy Twelfth Night, the musical runs July 16 through August 16. SPAMALOT, the uproariously hilarious Monty Python-inspired farce about King Arthur and his band of raunchy knights runs September 17 through October 18. Returning to Theatre at the Center during the holiday season is the nostalgic family favorite A CHRISTMAS STORY, running November 19 to December 27.
“We’re thrilled to be celebrating this milestone anniversary season,” said Theatre at the Center Artistic Director William Pullinsi. “What began as a summer theater with a few guest artists has grown into a year-round, professional equity theater attracting some of the best performers and designers, presenting classic favorites as well as Chicago area and World Premieres at affordable prices.”
Kicking off the season is the beloved play, ON GOLDEN POND, running February 26 to March 29. This charming love story follows an elderly couple, Ethel and Norman Thayer, who return to their summer home in Maine.

Over the course of the summer, an unlikely friendship develops between Norman and the boy, bringing together generations and the lessons they learn from each other. Variety raves ON GOLDEN POND is "…a rare and memorable theatrical experience." The play was a Broadway hit, running for 382 performances in 1979, going on to become a classic film starring Katherine Hepburn, Henry Fonda and
