Heath Mainstage
ABOUT THE SPACE
In 2014, Michael and Mona Heath, devoted and life-long patrons of Chicago theatre, wanted to build a lasting legacy to give back to the arts community that has meant so much to their lives. So, they joined forces with The Den Theatre to secure the large, empty storefront on the first floor, and provided the financing to create the Heath Mainstage, named in their honor. Originally designed as a 200-seat, convertible space to host theatrical productions, in 2019 it was converted into a 300-seat theatre venue that now attracts popular live entertainment from across the country.
The Heath Mainstage features a round, “thrust-style”, stage platform with a beautifully designed set and backdrop anchored by a stunning, back-lit version of The Den Theatre logo. Surrounding the stage at floor level is a premium seating section with cocktail tables and chairs, offering audiences the most intimate views of the stage. At the top of house right, we offer a “mezzanine” level that features “pub-style” tall chairs and drink rails. The rest of the house features our signature, cushioned armchairs, upholstered in gray. Performers booked in this space will enjoy our premium sound & light package, a large, fully equipped dressing-room, complete with a private bathroom and shower, and a private greenroom for relaxing before a show. During the show, audiences can enjoy the available, in-house, cocktail service from our own Haven Lounge.
The Heath Mainstage is quickly establishing itself as one of the premier venues for professional, live entertainment in the city of Chicago!
(The Heath Mainstage is currently in use for solo entertainment and not available as a rental for theatrical productions at this time.)
