Located in the northside Lakeview neighborhood, the Belmont Theatre District is a collection of more than 20 theatres scattered throughout this scenic lakefront neighborhood. A few stand-out spots include: Athenaeum Theatre, the city’s oldest continuously operating off-Loop theatre Laugh Factory, a popular comedy club for emerging stand-up talent The Newport Theatre, known for burlesque, drag, and fringe theatre Timeline Theatre Company, a recipient of a MacArthur Award And you can’t miss the multi-sensory theatrical spectacle that is the Blue Man Group. The one-of-a-kind show fuses original music with comedy, art, vaudeville, and science. The three blue performers bang drums, slosh paint, and interact with the audience throughout their wild and offbeat evolving productions. Filling the Briar Street Theater since the show started over 15 years ago, the phenomenon keeps crowds of all ages and backgrounds coming back for more with their larger-than-life props, mesmerizing rhythms, and splash-filled antics.
