About Three Brothers Theatre

Three Brothers Theatre offers two intimate, artist-driven spaces in downtown Waukegan: a main venue with flexible seating at 221 N Genesee Street (the Black Box) and The Lab with flexible seating at 115 N Genesee Street. Described by arts networks as black box theatres, these venues prioritize creative exploration, close audience connection, and flexible staging for a wide range of live performances—from plays and premieres to experimental evenings and touring acts. Whether you’re catching a festival show, a classic thriller, or an up-and-coming artist’s work, these venues deliver an engaging, unpretentious theatre experience just north of Chicago.

Located in downtown Waukegan, the venues are easily accessible by car or public transit, with ample street parking and city lots nearby. For visitors, we’ve highlighted parking tips, transit options, and nearby hotels and dining to help you plan a smooth, no-fuss trip.

Upcoming and past programming at Three Brothers Theatre showcases vibrant Midwest theatre. The Waukegan Theater Festival (WTF) has highlighted the area’s creative energy, while recent and upcoming productions like The Woman in Black (Date to be announced) and See How They Run (Date to be announced) continue to draw theatre lovers from across the region. If you’re visiting for a performance, secure your seats early—tickets are typically available through our partner network.
