Induction Hearing Loops in Our Theaters
If you use a hearing aid or cochlear implant that has a T-Coil, feel free to turn it on for the performance! The 1700 Theater, Ensemble Theater and both levels of the Downstairs Theater are equipped with induction loops. Steppenwolf’s induction loop was made possible in part by
a generous gift from John Hart and Carol Prins.

Steppenwolf Customer Service Tips
Driving to the theater? Rather than arriving to discover that our garage has reached capacity (which can happen during busy performances), please enter the Steppenwolf Parking Hotline (312-335-1774) into your cell phone and call us when you’re a few minutes away from the theater. We’ll tell you if there’s still space available in our facility or suggest the most convenient alternative.
Spending your intermission in line at the bar?
Enjoy the entire break by ordering and paying for your intermission refreshments before the show. When you exit the theater at the end of the first act, your drinks will be waiting for you.
Need restaurant information or the score of
the ballgame? Please visit our book shop and information desk at the south end of the main floor lobby. Hailing a cab after the play? This is typically an easy affair—Halsted is a busy street and sees a fair amount of taxi traffic. If you’d like assistance hailing a cab or calling a company, though, just ask a member of the house staff; we’re happy to help. Lost or Found? On-site? Please check in with a member of the house staff. Already left? Call the Front of House office at 312-932-2445. Want to provide feedback? Your input is always valuable to us. Have an opinion about the play or artistic content? Have a comment about your overall experience at the theater? Please ask us for a customer service form to fill out, or e-mail us at customerservice@ steppenwolf.org.
Need to contact a patron during a performance?
If you need to contact a patron during a performance in our Downstairs or Ensemble Theaters, please call our Concierge Desk at 312-932-2476.
Photo/Video Disclaimer: During your visit, you or members of your family may be filmed, videotaped and/or photographed by a Steppenwolf employee, contract photographer or the media. Your attendance at Steppenwolf events serves as permission for the use of your image, or the image of your family members, by Steppenwolf. Content Disclaimer: Steppenwolf does not offer advisories about subject matter, as sensitivities vary from person to person. If you have any questions about content, ageappropriateness or stage effects (such as strobe lights or theatrical fog) that might have a bearing on patron comfort, please contact the box office at 312-335-1650.
This company was founded over 45 years ago by a circle of students who craved a space to call their own. The Liz and Eric Lefkofsky Arts and Education Center continues that vision and amplifies its reach, becoming a place for students, educators and aspiring artists to call home.
The fourth floor of the building, also known as The Loft, is a brand-new space designed to house all of Steppenwolf Education’s programming and inspire the next generation of theater learners, makers and appreciators.
