Steppenwolf Theatre, Downstairs Theatre

Chicago, Illinois, USA
Theatre Projects

Designed in collaboration with Steppenwolf designer Kevin Rigdon, this two-level, 515-seat theatre is modeled on the classic American playhouse with a single balcony and side boxes stepping down toward the apron stage.

The rough-hewn concrete and steel interior echoes the raw, gritty nature of the acting company’s work.
