2019 - 2020 Season - TimeLine Theatre

Our 23rd Season

EXPLORING TODAY’S ISSUES THROUGH THE LENS OF THE PAST

Exceptional theatre is more than two hours in a seat. It will move you. Change you. Even inspire you to act. That’s our passionate belief, and the guiding force in creating theatre experiences at TimeLine that are like no other.

Our 2019-20 Season offers four plays all new to Chicago: The Tony Award-winning Oslo presented at Broadway In Chicago’s Broadway Playhouse; an acclaimed but rarely performed 100-year-old play named one of the best of the 20th Century; a powerful and provocative play described by the playwright as “an expressionistic buzz saw through the contemporary myth that ‘all lives matter;’” and a world premiere developed through TimeLine’s Playwrights Collective.

It is a season of riveting stories that link our past, present, and future. Join us! LEARN MORE …
