Centre East has served the greater Chicago area as a presenter of world-class entertainment for audiences of all ages and diversities since 1979. It is known for offering an extraordinarily wide selection of stage presentations representing every performing arts genre. In addition, Centre East offers a Youtheatre Program that is unsurpassed in the area and SHOWCASE, an annual conference of performing arts for young people.
In 1996, Centre East became the resident presenting organization in the newly built North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie at 9501 Skokie Blvd. in Skokie, IL. This 867 seat, state-of-the-art facility was designed with great care which ensures wherever you sit, you can see and hear perfectly. There is ample free parking and the facility is handicapped accessible with an elevator to the balcony. There are also devices available for the hearing impaired. |
