PLAN YOUR VISIT

We recommend you plan to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to showtime to allow ample time to find parking, get checked in, and order a drink before the show begins! Due to our space and the nature of our productions, we are not able to offer late seating and latecomers will not be admitted. At Theo, wearing masks is strongly recommended.

Children under age 6 (including babes in arms) are not admitted, unless the production is advertised for younger audiences. Regardless of age, everyone must have a ticket and be able to sit quietly through the performance. If any child or patron starts causing a distraction, the entire party will be asked to leave.

Driving and Parking

Theo is four miles east of I-94 from the Touhy Exit then Skokie Blvd to Howard Street

There are 3 options for street parking near the theatre. Please note that Howard Street is the dividing line between the City of Chicago (south side) and the City of Evanston (north side), so make sure you read all signage and confirm you are paying at the correct pay station or app based on where you are parking.

The City of Evanston operates a parking lot next to Theo that can only be paid for by using the Park Evanston mobile app. There is no pay station for this parking lot.
North side of Howard Street (and nearby side streets): City of Evanston parking; can be paid for at pay stations or the Park Evanston mobile app.

Where To Sit

While the configurations can change with each production, Theo Ubique always provides an intimate cabaret experience with seating in three sections. Bar seats swivel for a full view of the performance, riser seats are a step up on both stage right and left. There are some chairs at floor level as well. Table seats are generally shared four tops also at floor level.

The house opens for seating ninety minutes before showtime and patrons are always encouraged to arrive early to have a drink.

ADA Accessibility

So that we can better accommodate you, please contact the box office directly by email at boxoffice@theo-u.org or by calling 773-939-4101 to purchase ADA accessible and companion seating or to alert us if anyone in your party requires the use of a mobility assistive device.

About Our Restrooms

Theo Ubique Cabaret Theatre commits to providing accessible and all-gender restrooms as an important way to show full access and inclusion. We believe that everyone benefits from accessible (ADA compliant) and all-gender restrooms including, but not limited to, transgender and gender diverse individuals, people with a disability, parents/caregivers whose children are a different gender from them, and people with caregivers who are a different gender from them.

Mask Policy

Theo is no longer requiring masking for audiences at our performances but it is strongly recommended. We support any individual’s choice to mask! If you are not feeling well, are exhibiting any COVID-19 symptoms, or have had or been exposed to COVID-19 in the past 10 days, you should not attend a show. If you are unable to attend a performance due to these reasons, please contact Theo’s box office to discuss rescheduling. All patrons understand that there is a risk of exposure to COVID-19 in any public place where people are present. Those purchasing tickets and attending Theo productions and events voluntarily assume all risks related to COVID-19 exposure.
