The theater, on Morse Avenue & Wayne Avenue, opened as Morse Theater in 1912, a vaudeville and movie house. In the
1930s, the facility was remodeled using an Art Deco theme and renamed the Co-Ed Theater because of its proximity to
Loyola University. The Co-Ed closed in 1954, and from 1956 until 2008 the building served in various capacities from
synagogue to a shoe repair store.
Now, with a recent multi-million dollar restoration and renovation project, the entertainment and dining venue is poised
to be a magnet for significant development in this north-side neighborhood.

and diverse history of Rogers Park. A 230-seat multi-purpose entertainment venue with a state-of-the-art aduio and
video systems the theatre can host a variety of terrific acts; live performances, weddings, studio recordings, rehearsals,
