Don't forget: Not all movies have been released to DVD, and Facets also has a vast catalog of VHS titles. Can't find what you're looking for on disc? Chances are, it's still VHS-only & Facets has it!
They are incredibly nice here.

History lesson: Doc Films is the oldest student run film society in the country.
I really enjoyed the play I saw here last night. An inexpensive, wacky, entertaining performance by actually talented actors. And, the theater is air conditioned. Popcorn for $1?! Fab night out.
Expect potentially embarrassing audience participation, especially if you sit in the front row.
Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind, Chicago’s longest-running piece of theater, features an innovative ensemble of writer-performers attempting to perform 30 miniplays in 60 minutes.
Beautiful space. Unique and versatile, a definite asset to the theatre community. I look forward to seeing more shows there.
This is, where Abrhaam Lincoln got shot I think
Good venue for dance. Has a history of dance performance by a range of local companies.
This indie theater serves all-natural Lake Champlain chocolate bars straight from the green mountains of Vermont. The sinful flavors include milk, dark and milk chocolate caramel.
A gem on the Northside. See a midnight movie before you move away. The staff is friendly, and the films they play always please.

Intelligentsia coffee, beers on tap, full bar, chocolate covered bananas along w/all the standard movie snacks. Great admission prices also make it a great choice. Support indie theaters!
I love this theatre. Hot lemon ginger tea or a whisky with my movie. No fuss. Cheap seats... Good loving.
Try to take advantage of the matinee prices. They have some pretty good beer, which you can take with you while you watch a movie.
The Shakespeare theatre is so wonderful
Cool spooky ferris wheel when it's cold enough that it's closed and no one is around.

Cool indie movie theater that hosts special screenings, but it's freezing! Not air conditioning too high freezing. More like someone didn't turn on the heat freezing. Wear layers and bring a blanket.
