Theatre Information
POPE JOAN opened on February 18, 1996 at the Mercury Theater
The Mercury Theater
3745 North Southport
Chicago, Illinois 60613
Phone (312) 325-1700
The Mercury Theatre is a brand-new, gorgeous, state-of-the-art theatre and we're very
proud that POPE JOAN will open the space. If you know where the Music Box
Theatre (showing art films/foreign films/Chicago Film Festival) is on
Southport, we're just a few doors north of that, on the same side of the
street. We're also excited that from the Mercury's lobby, one can walk into
Strega Nona (a creative new Italian restaurant) and Cullen's Pub and Grill
(an upscale Irish pub). Valet parking will be available, of course. So,
if you wish, an entire evening -- from a pre-show dinner to an after-theatre
cocktail -- can be enjoyed without going back out into the cold!
Strega Nona -- (312) 244 - 0990
Cullen's Bar & Grill -- (312) 975 - 0600
