[1] Located at 2540 N. Lincoln Ave., the Apollo has 430 seats and a lobby featuring art exhibits and a full bar.

In 1921, theatrical producer A. H. Woods opened the Apollo Theatre in the Chicago Loop District, at the corner of Randolph and Dearborn Streets.

In 1991 Michael Leavitt and Fox Theatricals took ownership of the Lincoln Park venue,[4] then in 1996 Rob Kolsen took over.

The smaller venue is popular for comedy, sketch shows, and improv theater.

Riley Mills.
