Leela Arts Center, Illinois, United States
2.5 (2 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #9 in Des Plaines Theaters
Heartwarming entertainment, warm welcome
Over the holidays while visiting family we went to "Home for the Holidays" a musical revue set in and soon after WWII. The performers were 2 men and 2 women. The 1st part was a USO show, the 2nd set in a nightclub soon after the war, and the 3rd part a reunion in Vermont, complete with the red "White Christmas" gowns for the women. It was so enjoyable, the singing, jokes, and patter all on pitch. The organizers were very welcoming and the seats comfortable. All in all very fun, hope the Leela Arts Center is around for a long time. FYI it is housed in the Masonic building in Des Plaines, the 2nd floor theater was used for years by the Des Plaines Theatre Guild. I enjoyed seeing where my parents saw plays for many years and am glad its still being utilized.

Leela Arts Center closed after only 11 months
We came to the Leela Arts Center but we found that the Leela Arts Center has closed and did not renew its lease with the owners of the building in August 2016. The website is no longer functional and the phone number, belonging to a ticket agency, has no record of the Leela Arts Center.
