TimeLine South is a unique arts program that provides teens a safe space for self-expression, creativity, and ensemble building on the south side of Chicago. And soon, you can see the results of their latest six-week collaboration! Reserve your FREE tickets today for the world premiere piece conceived, created, and performed by the TimeLine South Ensemble, entitled SHATTERED: THE FEARS THAT LIE WITHIN.

This milestone year—which will culminate with the inaugural production at our new theatre in Uptown—brings three urgent stories to the stage, each confronting the political and personal stakes of our time. From a world premiere by a Chicago “triple-threat” playwright, to a biting satire of fractured community, to a fresh take on a searing classic, TimeLine’s 29th season is about meeting the moment head-on—and meeting you in our new artistic home.

We’re thrilled to share that TimeLine’s capital campaign has raised more than $41.5 million and construction is more than halfway completed on our future new home at 5035 N. Broadway, near the corner of Broadway and Argyle, in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood! TimeLine anticipates opening our new building in Spring 2026.

Explore the program that brings TimeLine’s mission to Chicago Public Schools, working with students on creative exercises related to historically inspired stories on TimeLine’s stage and elsewhere in literature.
