Skokie Theatre is a gem of a performing arts company on Chicago’s North Shore. It has a historic outside façade and a fully renovated, state-of-the-art performance space inside.
The theatre puts on great shows. Sometimes they produce internally through MadKap Productions like their recent smash hit production of the rock musical HAIR and other times they bring in works from other companies that they know North Shore audiences are going to love too like the upcoming The Princess Strikes Back starring Victoria Montalbano.
On this episode ofIt’s Showtime with Rikki Lee, Skokie Theatre managing director Wayne Mell joins host Rikki Lee Travolta to discuss the history of Skokie Theatre and MadKap Productions, the theatre's ties to the legend of Charlie Chaplin, and what’s coming up for the exciting performing arts organization including the mainstage musical A Chorus Line.
