The Chicago Shakespeare Theater is expanding its footprint on the city’s iconic Navy Pier being used to develop a flexible third stage capable of being adapted based on the performance. With audience capacity ranging from 150 to 850 in an enclosed space beneath the domed Skyline Stage area, the theatre, known as The Yard at Shakespeare, will have the capability to project images onto the underside of the dome itself. The expansion will be connected to the existing facility, which currently houses two theatres through expanded lobbies.
