TimeLine's new home is open!

We’re home! Construction at 5035 N. Broadway, near the corner of Broadway and Argyle, in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood, is now substantially complete and our new home celebrated its grand opening in May with the inaugural production, An Enemy of the People. TimeLine’s capital campaign has raised more than 90% of the $46 million project cost, but it’s not too late to ensure its success with your support!

“A combination of panache and physical dynamism that I find altogether irresistible.”
“The more I see of Chicago’s TimeLine Theatre Company, the more impressed I am ... TimeLine takes care to choose interesting plays, then mounts them with a combination of panache and physical dynamism that I find altogether irresistible.”
— Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal
“We celebrate the past to awaken the future.” — John F. Kennedy
“History: gossip well told.” — Elbert Hubbard
“We learn from history that we learn nothing from history.” — George Bernard Shaw
“Why doesn't New York have more Off-Broadway companies like TimeLine?”
“I can't give you a simple answer to that tricky question, but I can tell you this: The fact that we don't is one of the many reasons why I've come to feel that the Windy City is blowing the Big Apple out of its once-secure spot at the top of America's theatrical tree. ”
— Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal
