PREMIERE SOCIETY

A theater family— just for you. When you join Goodman Theatre’s Premiere Society, you belong to a core group of Chicago theater champions. Your membership offers an insider’s view of the Goodman, and provides the unique opportunity to interact with others who share your love of the arts. With exclusive access to a leading cultural institution, you’ll find out how you can use your passion for theater to make a true impact.

Our Premiere Concierge Service is at your service to purchase house seats for any production, make reservations for pre-show dining, facilitate complimentary ticket exchanges and receive priority subscription seating.

As a Premiere Society Member, you’ll hear from nationally renowned theater professionals—and interact with others who share your passion. Throughout the year, you’ll receive invitations to attend exclusive events and conversations with Goodman Artists, enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at the art created for the stage, and hear the inside scoop first and from the best in the business.

Members also receive access to the theater’s Goodman Lounge—the perfect setting to host friends at the theater and mingle with other patrons before and after the show. This intimate space includes access to a private bar, as well as a restroom and coat check services. Reservations can be made through the Premiere Concierge.
