About us
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!

VERONICA’S ROOM at Theatre of Western Springs
Theatre of Western Springs, 4384 Hampton Avenue, Western Springs, IL, US*** SOLD OUT ***
VERONICA’S ROOM
by Ira Levin
Directed by Robert Tobin
Genre: Psychological Thriller
(Perfect for the Halloween Season)
Mary Cattell Theatre
https://theatreofwesternsprings.com/A young woman receives an odd request from an elderly couple: they want her to impersonate their deceased acquaintance Veronica, who she bears a striking resemblance to, in order to comfort Veronica's confused and dying older sister. What begins as sincere and harmless slowly bleeds malignancy as the young woman starts to question her identity and the truth behind this family's disturbing past. From Ira Levin, the genius behind Rosemary's Baby, this terrifying psychological thriller leaves audiences trapped in a nightmare where reality fractures and identity is a mirage.

The Theatre of Western Springs Banner confused me at first. The logo serves both the "Theatre of" and the "Children's Theatre of" Western Springs. Veronica's Room is “Theatre of Western Springs", not the Children's.
