Chicago, Illinois
Artist-run black-box stage for burlesque, drag, and variety.
The Newport Theater is a small artist-run black-box theater in Lakeview's Belmont Theater District, programming burlesque, drag, comedy, and variety shows most nights of the week. It's a regular home for queer performers and recurring drag-king cabarets, with an intimate room and a small bar. The lineup leans fringe and experimental — the kind of place where touring burlesque acts and local drag share the same stage.
