What the press is saying:
"Adventure Stage is once again providing young adults with a sophisticated theatrical experience." - Crazykidschicago.com"It is nice to see productions that families can attend together and that will bring on discussion after. This does that perfectly." Steadstylechicago.com

“Adventure Stage Chicago has mounted another worthy children’s production.” -Chicago Critic
“Vittum Theater has mounted a polished and pleasing young adult show. So well done and fresh that I’d advise you to take your children, as it will engage them and inspire them to become ‘theatre lovers.’ It is also fine adult fare. Kudos…I’ll not miss another of their shows."
Critics’ Choice! “…keeps the pace swift, the characterizations broad, and the spectacle dazzling.”
“With its fast pace, skilled sword fighting and element of suspense, Vittum Theater's "The Shakespeare Stealer" provides an appealing way to introduce kids and teens to the Bard of Avon....crafted so cleverly that it's engaging for adults, too.”

adults especially appreciated that the performance was entertaining and
educational for us as well. All
in all we had a great time and before we ever got out of our seats we said we
would like to come back next year for another performance. Congratulations

handle!!" - Deb

looking forward to attending future productions. In fact, that leads me

your upcoming calendar!”
