Northlight Theatre has announced its 2026-27 season, its first season in its new theater in downtown Evanston. The subscription season will include five plays, including three world premieres, and a celebratory opening gala on Aug. 15. The new theater building at 1012 Church St. has been a long process and marks an Evanston homecoming for Northlight, which had previously performed at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie. The season will begin with Jeffrey Hatcher’s “The Front Page” and concludes in June 2027 with a world premiere about musical trailblazer Pearl Bailey. Subscriptions ($180 to $325) are now available at 847-563-8400 and north
