Bring your family down for a FREE afternoon at the Auditorium Theatre, and join us to experience Chicago’s Landmark Theatre up close and personal!

In conjunction with the Billy Strayhorn Festival and featuring the Joffrey Ballet, kids of all ages can get moving and playing with family dance and improvisation workshops, interactive tours of the theatre itself, and a scavenger hunt!

Now is the time to start making your family’s Auditorium Theatre memories!  All activities are appropriate for kids and kids-at-heart and are absolutely free.  We’ll see you at the theater!

There are no tickets required for this free event, but all families must register to receive their Scavenger Hunt Map and class schedule.  You can do this when you arrive, or you can skip the line and get right to the fun by pre-registering HERE!
