Experience

Since 1977, we’ve produced thousands of public performances and private events, working with clients at all experience levels; some who have made good use of our expertise, and some who produce events on a regular basis and from whom we have learned a thing or two. Our management and our crew of sound engineers, lighting directors, stage hands and video projection techs, have professionally produced promotional concerts with heavy branding and production elements, business presentations, podcasts, holiday parties, proms, pageants, weddings, and even some memorial services. Our management has over 77 years combined experience!

1916: The Lane Court Vaudeville Theater opens in Chicago presenting Vaudeville acts, seating close to 1,000 people

1960s: now the Town Theater, and then the Town Underground Theater screening independent films, including Andy Warhol‘s Chelsea Girls

early 1970s: after a tumultuous period, The Town changed ownership and eventually closed

1977: Re-modeled and re-opened as Park West, nationally known concert hall for the leading musical acts of that time and recognized as the best music venue of its size in the country. Simultaneously the first video dance nightclub ever in Chicago, completely filling the venue weekly

1988: new ownership continues the tradition of the featuring top national touring acts and booking corporate and private events.

My Anniversary Party

I first attended an event at Park West shortly after it opened — a couple days after. No event since then could compare with the success of the nominee reception on Monday for hospitality, ease of movement and professionalism of the staff.  You minted a gold standard.

Dan Miller

Co-Founder, The Chicago Innovation Awards

Great to work with you once again!  You and your team handled all of our needs with your usual excellence.  Thank you.
