About

The Lodge Performing Arts Center

Where History Meets the Modern Stage

The Lodge Performing Arts Center is more than just a venue—it is a vibrant ecosystem for local talent and a premier destination for the arts. Reborn in 2026, our historic home seamlessly blends its Gilded Age soul with the precision of 21st-century stagecraft.

As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, we are fueled by a singular dedication to the cultural and performing artist of the Northwest Suburbs. Our mission is to bridge the gap between education and excellence, providing high-quality theater experiences to children, young adults, and developing artists.

Our Resident Companies

The Lodge serves as the permanent home base for two distinct yet complementary creative forces:

Schaumburg On Stage / Students On Stage — Dedicated to providing quality youth educational programming and theater experiences that inspire the next generation of creators.

point2point productions — Focused on professional-grade community productions that push creative boundaries and captivate modern audiences.

The Elgin Arts Showcase

Located on our Lower Level, this innovative Black Box venue is operated by the City of Elgin. It offers an intimate, versatile space for experimental and community-focused performances.

Accessible Seating — Thoughtfully designed seating is available throughout all performance venues.

Enhanced Hearing — We offer assistive listening devices for all performances.
