About Otherworld Theatre Performance Venue and Bar
Otherworld Theatre Performance Venue and Bar is Chicago’s dedicated home for live science fiction and fantasy performance. Housed in a two-stage facility with a welcoming lobby and full bar, this venue has a history of world premieres and genre-focused programming. With seating that can be reconfigured for each production, Bradbury Mainstage (~120 seats) and Alchemist's Lab (~40 seats) provide intimate to flexible viewing options. Parking is limited to street spots, and transit is convenient via the CTA Red Line and local buses. The venue sits at 3914 N. Clark St, near Wrigleyville and East Lakeview, placing it in a lively hub with nearby hotels and dining options. Secure your seats for upcoming productions like the Paragon Play Festival and The Seance LIVE, and explore the venue’s history from its Public House Theatre and Live Bait Theatre days through its 2018 rebrand as Otherworld.
Getting to Otherworld Theatre is straightforward for locals and visitors alike. If you’re driving, plan for limited street parking and be mindful of Cubs game days when the block may have restricted parking.
