About Prop Theatre
Prop Theatre is a distinctive storefront venue in Chicago, operating across two intimate spaces with a total of 140 seats (75 in one space and 65 in the other). Located at 4640 N Drake Ave (with its historic storefront roots at 3502-04 N Elston Ave), Prop Thtr has a storied history, including collaborations like the Storefront Project with MCA Chicago and the Rhinoceros Theater Festival. After a pause during the pandemic, Prop Thtr relocated and continues its commitment to avant-garde performance and community-driven programming. Whether you’re planning a casual night of theatre or a focused arts outing, we’re here to help you secure your seats with straightforward, no-fuss ticket options.

Seating charts are published by Prop Thtr materials and reflect these capacities, but public charts may vary by production. If you’re unsure which space hosts a show, we’ll verify the venue layout for you and help you secure the best available seats.
