Genesee Theatre is a historic performance venue in downtown Waukegan.

Its prominent building and restored theater setting provide a home for concerts, comedy and other scheduled entertainment.
Choose a show from the official calendar and check seating, ticket and entry information for that event. Arrive early enough to appreciate the auditorium before the performance begins. Access outside scheduled events depends on organized arrangements, so a walk past the exterior does not guarantee an interior visit. Review accessibility and parking guidance before traveling.
