VictoryGardens is the only Chicago theater that makes it easy for parents to experience award-winning live theater, without the hassle of finding a sitter. At VictoryGardens’ Family Saturday performances, you watch the show, while we watch your kids! VGT education professionals will keep children 4 and up entertained with theater games, crafts and storytelling in our Prince Charitable Trusts Rehearsal Room, while you’re downstairs enjoying a new play in our beautiful Biograph Theater mainstage. In addition to instilling a love for theater, kids’ activities are tailored to each play's themes - guaranteeing a lively post-show conversation on the drive home.Parents are encouraged to check in during intermission, and join their kids for free gourmet cupcakes, courtesy of Swirlz Cupcakes.
“We were
amazed at the amount of planning that went into the childcare. For each play there were activities for the
kids that drew from the central theme of the show we were seeing
downstairs. Our kids had a great time, while my husband and I were
able to enjoy a "grown-up" time in the city. Being able to
attend a play without the hassle of finding a sitter and then worrying that
they might cancel was tremendous. Of course, not feeling rushed during the
travel time to and from the theater was an added bonus.”
