The Revival Theater
A renovation of an industrial building into an improv theater with bar and classrooms, featuring traces of the past.
The Revival Theater, an improv institution known for its in-person classes benefiting individuals ranging from academics and entrepreneurs to salespeople and civil servants, has expanded its footprint with a new location in the South Loop. Beyond traditional improv classes, The Revival offers workshops that transcend the performing arts realm, presenting a unique and effective approach to addressing critical objectives for groups of all sizes.
This project is the transformation of a one-story masonry building that played a role in Chicago's silent film production industry in the early 20th century. The renovation included the build-out of a new bar, performance space, classroom, and upgrades to building systems.
