Near West Theatre is notorious for its rousing, soulful performances… in a space without air conditioning. Which, if you think about it, attests to the passion of actors who must perform every night in a stuffy room (and the audiences who come anyways despite the heat).
But… all that is changing. Now you can see a Near West show in relative comfort thanks to a big idea and a generous donor. For the first time ever, a rented air-conditioning unit will be used in the third floor of the St. Patrick’s Club Building.
Hallelujah! Be sure to get tickets now for Hairspray: The Broadway Musical.
