Facilities
Chicago Shakespeare Theater has, since the year 2000, been in residence in a new, seven-story, 75,000-square-metre (810,000 sq ft) facility on Chicago's Navy Pier, which houses its box office, administrative offices, and performance venues. The first performance at this facility was Eric Idle reading from his novel, The Road to Mars.
The 510-seat Courtyard Theater which is the primary production venue for CST has features state-of-the-art technology and acoustics, together with a versatile thrust stage and deep proscenium, create a flexible performance space. A second theater, the 200-seat black box "Upstairs" space, is devoted to smaller but still-popular productions such as The Second City's smash hit, Romeo and Juliet Musical: The People Vs. Friar Laurence, The Man Who Killed Romeo and Juliet.
