Chicago's Happiest Theater Map

By Justin Sondak in Arts & Entertainment on Nov 28, 2007 8:00PM

These days, when you’re loathe to drag your ass too far from home, Theater in Chicago has your back.

The Chicago theater info source already sorts city and suburban productions by company, neighborhood, production date, and strength of review. Today we got word they’ve just rolled out a nifty Google Map mashup, plotting hundreds of area venues—institution and storefront alike—in one place. The navigation looks familiar enough and the Big G’s search engine allows easy searches by zip code and venue name, with links to current and upcoming shows.

We’re liking this map’s convenience and accessibility. But most of all, we like watching the illustrated creepy faces spread like a cartoon-goth gentrification wave across the north side.
