After the year we've had, we could use some good news. Well, here it is: Summer Place Theatre is BACK, and we're thrilled to announce the cast of our first show of the 2021 season! Summer Lovin' is an original musical revue conceived and directed by Emma Gingold and Jeff Sand, with music direction by Rex Meyer. The 21-person cast and the live band are made up of the finest musicians in the Chicago area, and they can't wait to perform live outdoors this June.

When a pianist, comedian, and musical theatre buff suffers a stroke, he isn't the least surprised when wise-cracking doctors and singing physical therapists dance onto the scene. Summer Place Theatre is thrilled to present The Mighty Ted, a heartwarming musical comedy written by longtime Summer Place board member Ted Waltmire. Ted's stroke turned his life upside down, but it didn't damage his funny bone! We'll perform The Mighty Ted live outdoors in Naperville on August 20, 21, & 22. Stay tuned for more!

Happy Holidays! Summer Place Theatre is celebrating Christmas in July with our second show of the season, A Christmas Carol, a 1940s radio theatre version of the classic Charles Dickens story adapted by Chris Corrigan. We'll perform live outdoors in Naperville July 16, 17, & 18. Stay tuned for more!

Welcome back to summer, and welcome back to live theatre! The Summer Place is returning to the stage after a year-long hiatus, and we have a whole season of great outdoor performances lined up to celebrate. We are kicking off our season with Summer Lovin’, an original musical revue chock-full of summertime Broadway favorites, performed by a talented cast of Chicago-area singers.

We had such a wonderful time premiering our first performance, "Songs of Hope," that we're doing it again!
