The Royal George is one of the city's more important traditional medium sized theaters. It's got a great Lincoln Park location, a wonderful layout (the seats in the Mainstage are well-spaced, the room is not too large and there really is not a bad seat in the house) and generally popular shows (including the blockbuster Angels in America and barbershop revue Forever Plaid).

A recognized name in the theater community and one of the busiest spaces in the city, the Royal George also houses a smaller studio theater, which traditionally stages an open run comedy or musical- hit shows include the long running musical I Love You You're Perfect Now Change, as well as a Cabaret space.

Due to its prime location (right across the street from the Steppenwolf Theatre), there are plenty of restaurants and bars in the area, inluding a place to try the cuisine of Afghanistan.
