Family Fun Day- 125 years of amazement! Sunday Nov 9 at Roosevelt University


The Auditorium Theatre at Roosevelt University is celebrating their 125th Anniversary Season and to make sure everyone knows how wonderful the place is, they are opening their doors on Sunday, November 9 for a FREE Family Fun Day!

Families are invited to explore this landmark arts building (built by Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan, beautifully restored, and a building that Frank Lloyd Wright said was "... the greatest room for music and opera in the world- bar none.")

During the free festivities, you can enjoy dance classes from Joffrey Ballet dancers, acting lessons from Roosevelt University professionals, Arts & Crafts, a special Brownie making demonstration with one of FOX TV’s Master Chefs and lots more.


It's all free, and it's all fun!


Here's a schedule of what's going on, and a promotional video which shows some of the planning for what's going on!
