The Tinley Park Performing Arts Center is the home of our very own Tinley Park Community Theater, Tinley Park-Park District’s Children’s and Teen’s Theaters, and many other performing arts programs. The Center also offers numerous acting and improv classes throughout the year. The theater seats 120 people and is available for rentals for corporate meetings, theater performances, birthday parties, and more. Please call (708) 342-4200 for more info.
The intent of the Performing Arts program is to assist in the development of talent in children and adults through participation in, and attendance at events and educational activities. All activities shall be evaluated on their ability to involve new participants, educate those involved and to whatever extent possible, offer a public performance or showing of the resulting arts. We delight in the arts; they are the essence of our heritage. All residents of the south suburbs are invited to come and enjoy the arts with us. Please browse through our program brochure to see the wide variety of programs and activities offered.
All performances are held at the Tinley Park Performing Arts Center, 16801 S. 80th Avenue in Tinley Park.
Pa Herford is gonna get all five of his daughters hitched one way or another. Everyone is onboard except Charlamaine, who is more interested in her books. But when a sneaky government man shows up, Charlie gets a bad case of “The Hankerin.” While Charlie locates a love potion, Marcus tries to buy land out from under the family. Before long, the whole town is in an uproar. Please join us for a hysterical lesson in comedic acting.

Teen Theater presents The Canterbury Tales or…Geoffrey Chaucer’s Flying Circus by Burton Bumgarner
Although you likely studied this revolutionary literary masterpiece in high school, it was certainly not like this. Adding a good dose of Monty Python-style humor makes this challenging piece of literature a screwball comedy! Join us in meeting several of the pilgrims including the knight, the miller, the parson, the pardoner and a few Thanksgiving pilgrims who stumbled into the wrong play.
