The North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie relies on foundations and government agencies to provide support for our educational, family and feature series programming. In addition to supporting the work seen on stage, gifts from foundations and government agencies often underwrite costs associated with day-to-day operations.

Financial support from foundations and government agencies also help the North Shore Center to provide affordable theater to the Chicagoland’s school aged children. Reduced ticket prices and transportation grants for students to our Youththeatre programming allow the widest possible audience regardless of socioeconomic status to utilize the North Shore Center's state-of-the-art facility and enjoy its wide range of programs.
