Live Shows Meet Manual Elevators at This Historic Chicago Venue
Catch comedy, concerts and podcast tapings in a former music and opera hall inside the Fine Arts Building.
🎭 An Arrival With Character
Studebaker Theater gives a Chicago show night an opening act before you reach your seat. Inside the Fine Arts Building at 410 S Michigan Ave, manual elevator operators are part of the arrival. The theater originally opened in 1898 as a music and opera hall, with a history that reaches beyond the current program.
Today, comedy, concerts and podcast tapings share the bill. Restored ornate decor keeps the historic character in place, while modern sound systems and comfortable seating bring the room into the present. Pick the performance that catches your attention, then make an occasion of settling into this Michigan Avenue venue.
Opening hours are Tuesday through Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM, with Monday closed. Every ticket purchase includes an 8 dollar ticket fee, including transactions made in person at the box office. Check the program for the performance you want to see before choosing a date.
