Coinciding with our 30th Anniversary, this inaugural season in Uptown showcases four extraordinary productions that span continents, generations, and pivotal historical moments. Together, we invite you to explore today’s social and political issues through the lens of the past, be the very first to experience TimeLine’s new home, and see it for yourself.

IT’S HAPPENING! TimeLine’s new home at 5035 N. Broadway in Uptown is nearly complete and YOU can come see it for yourself when we open our doors for three very special early sneak peek events—even as we’re still moving in! Come explore the space, meet the TimeLine team, and celebrate this huge milestone with us.

We’re thrilled to share that TimeLine’s capital campaign has raised more than $42.9 million and construction is nearly completed on our future new home at 5035 N. Broadway, near the corner of Broadway and Argyle, in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood! TimeLine is planning for a grand opening in Spring 2026 with the inaugural production, An Enemy of the People.

Please join us in welcome four new playwrights to TimeLine Playwrights Collective! Kimberly Dixon-Mays, Terry Guest, Omer Abbas Salem and Catherine Yu are now in residence through December 2027.

Explore the program that brings TimeLine’s mission to Chicago Public Schools, working with students on creative exercises related to historically inspired stories on TimeLine’s stage and elsewhere in literature.
