FUTURE HOME IN EVANSTON
After 50 years of productions and nearly 30 years at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts, Northlight’s 2025-26 Season will be its last as renters in Skokie as we embark on opening our very own home in Evanston, the vibrant community where Northlight began in 1974. Owned and operated by Northlight, a theatre of our own in downtown Evanston will strengthen our ability to produce compelling new and existing work, nurture and grow the next generation of theatregoers, expand our civic impact, spark economic development, and serve as a cultural hub for the entire community. The new Northlight is scheduled to open at 1012 Church Street in September 2026.

Happy Juneteenth from Northlight Theatre! Widely regarded as our second Independence Day, Juneteenth marks the day the Emancipation Proclamation was finally enforced in Texas in 1865, marking the end of slavery in the United States. The celebration of Juneteenth has three goals: "to celebrate, to educate, and to agitate." So join folks in Evanston in celebrating, learn something new about civil rights, and make your voice heard at events happening in Northlight’s community and around the city!
