We can’t take bus trips right now but, thanks to the internet, we can explore the world from the comfort of our homes. Every Wednesday, we’re presenting a series of links to cultural institutions in Chicago and beyond. Today we’ll visit Writers Theatre in Glenview.

Recently called “America’s No. 1 theatre company” by The Wall Street Journal, Writers Theatre has entertained Chicago and the North Shore for more than 25 years with inventive interpretations of classic work and a bold approach to contemporary theatre, bringing audiences face-to-face with powerful stories by creating the most intimate theatrical experience possible.

If you’re the kind of person who wants to know what happens at the theatre before you get to see the show, check out the backstage activities of Writers Theatre. Then take an audio tour of the theater center building designed by internationally renowned architect Jeanne Gang.
