What we’re about
WSTM is a passionate theater group that meets monthly to delve into the vibrant live theater scene of the Chicago Western Suburbs. Our primary goal is to watch the shows that you're most excited about and immerse ourselves in an enjoyable experience while forging new friendships.
Whether you're a first-time attendee or a seasoned theater enthusiast, you'll find a warm welcome among us.
Theater is a deeply personal encounter, and what captivates one person might not resonate with another. That's why we invite a few of our members to gather for a post-play discussion over drinks, sharing our diverse experiences and perspectives.
If you're involved in a stage production or have a recommendation for a performance that our West Suburban Theatre Meetup participants would appreciate, please feel free to message me with the details. We're always open to exploring new theatrical endeavors!

LITTLE PLAYS, BIG MURDER!
Short Play Festival
2025 8x10
https://www.westchesterplays.com/8, 10-minute plays = 8x10 Play Festival
Westchester Civic Theatre’s 8x10 plays are fast becoming an annual favorite for the West Suburban Theatre Meetup! Their productions promise something especially fun: a night of original theatre where both actors and playwrights are volunteers. The venue is roomy with comfortable seating, making it the perfect place to enjoy an evening of short, inventive works.
Here’s the challenge behind the curtain: each play must run just 10 minutes, and every script is required to open with a character declaring, “This is what happened.” From that single line, playwrights craft a complete story—introducing characters, building tension, and even solving the mystery of who killed the director, and why.
Join us for this fast-paced evening of creativity, mystery, and original theatre!

Finding the Auditorium.
Enter the door from the Heritage Park parking lot. To the left of the reception area is the elevator to the second floor. Beyond the elevator are two sets of stairs that drop you at opposite sides of the auditorium.
The theatre is fully accessible.I will be standing between the stage and the seating when you arrive holding up the West Suburban Theatre Meetup sign up placard. I will also have your home-made name tag. Even if you choose not to wear it, it is how I keep attendance. (I've got a great memory. It's just short.)
