Porchlight Music Theatre is set to be the first company in residence at the Lincoln Park Theater, Walter Stearns’ redevelopment of the historic Fullerton State Bank Building at 1425 W. Fullerton Avenue in Chicago. The theater will be completed in the fall of 2009.
The Lincoln Park Theater will feature a 299-seat auditorium, including a main floor and a balcony. The space will be configured as a traditional proscenium stage, and include an orchestra pit and a fly loft to move scenery. In addition to Porchlight, the new space will be a home to other Chicago artists. Tenants will be selected on the basis of their achievements, governance, fiscal stability as well as complimentary aesthetic.
Porchlight Music Theatre earned the most Jeff awards of any Chicago music theater, and the most After Dark Awards of any Chicago theater in 2007. An Equity theater since 2004, the company has already received a total of 24 Joseph Jefferson Award nominations resulting in 10 Jeff Awards.
