PREPARE TO BE INTENSELY ENTERTAINED
Now Playing
By John Patrick Shanley
Brooklyn Laundry
Fran is broke and chronically single. Owen has a bad back and a lot of baggage. They might be just what each other needs… but life has some savage tricks left in store. Funny, tragic, moving, and hopeful, this new comedy drama comes from the Tony, Pulitzer and Oscar-winning author of Moonstruck, Doubt, and Outside Mullingar.
Begins April 11

FUTURE HOME IN EVANSTON
Northlight’s bold vision is to build a world-class theatre in Evanston, the vibrant community where Northlight began in 1974. With a new theatre in downtown Evanston, we will entertain and inspire audiences with compelling new and existing work. We’ll nurture and grow the next generation of theatregoers, expand our civic impact, spark economic development, and serve as a cultural hub for the entire community.

Welcome to New York 🌆
Building the set for BROOKLYN LAUNDRY takes a village! Thanks to the generosity of organizations and individuals across the city, we`ve gathered over 1,500 pieces of clothing to dress our set. The pieces have taken countless hours to organize and multiple days to hang up in the theatre. We are so grateful for our amazing production staff who make the magic happen! You won`t wanna miss this one come to life beginning April 11 👕🫧
