...create lasting family memories...
"Our family always looks forward to coming to an Emerald City show. It’s one of the few times I can get my son to sit for more than 20 minutes – and happily he loves to snuggle with me during this time. We enjoyed talking about the silly stories in Stinky Cheese Man and after the show made up some of our own fractured fairy tales."
(Louise, mother of Connor age 4, future jet pilot)

"I brought my 1st grade class to Seussical the Musical. The students loved how silly Cat in the Hat was and they loved the story of Horton. And I loved how excited they became to learn about the author Theodore Geisel."
(Mrs. Perez, Wildwood Elementary)

...and help the community to raise confident, loving and imaginative children.
"My daughter Alison is a shy girl and the youngest in her Kindergarten class. She was hesitant to give answers when called on at school or to try and get to know her classmates. While taking an Emerald City class she got to learn a dance to her favorite show High School Musical and was constantly performing it. A teacher saw her performing it on the playground and asked Alison if she would teach that dance to her class. To our surprise, Alison bravely agreed! She not only taught older kids, but also performed it along with that class. Her self-confidence has completely blossomed since participating in theater!"
(Alison’s mom, Wendy)

Emerald City is a not-for-profit company committed to helping every family raise a confident, loving and imaginative child.
But we need your help to reach the thousands of Chicagoland families who can’t afford this experience. Keeping our shows accessible while maintaining quality theater experiences is an absolute priority. We reflect that commitment in the pricing of our tickets, which remain at nearly the cost of going to a movie.
By extending your support to the Emerald City Theatre this year, you will help us better reach our upcoming goals:
- We will establish a satellite home at South Shore Cultural Center to better serve this vibrant neighborhood with year-round family theater.
- We will continue our literacy-focused efforts with our Celebrate Reading Tour performing How I Became a Pirate at over 100 Chicagoland schools and libraries.
- We will increase the number of Theater School scholarships offering arts education for free from 10 to 30 qualifying students.
Please consider a gift of support. You can click below to make your gift today. $100, $250, $500 – any size gift will help us bring the power of theater to every Chicago family. Thank you!
