NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS

Goodman Theatre in Chicago offers periodic college nights, where students with a valid college ID can purchase tickets for special events for just $10 that include a production, a pre-show reception with all you can eat pizza and soda and a discussion with a member of the theater’s artistic team.

The next Goodman Theatre College Night is Thursday, October 5 for Lucha Teotl.

It’s a night in the theater that you’ll never forget. Experience the heart-pumping action ringside as the Goodman transforms into a professional wrestling arena–a perfect backdrop for the high drama and rich cultural history of lucha libre.

Originally developed with Prism Movement Theater and produced in partnership with CLATA as part of 2023 Destino Festival, actors and luchadores (wrestlers) in masks representative of Aztec gods play out an exciting wrestling story about familyu, honor, tradition and redemption.

The pre-show reception begins at 6 p.m. in the second floor theater lobby, and the performance starts at 7:30 p.m. in the Goodman’s Owen Theatre.

Tickets can be purchased online and will be held at will call. Have your NIU ID with you when you pick up your tickets.
