Getting Here
The Neo-Futurarium is located at 5153 N Ashland, at the corner of Ashland and Foster. You’ll know you’re here when you find a large red door beneath a sign that says “The Neo-Futurist Theater.”
The Neo-Futurist Theater (a.k.a. “The Neo-Futurarium”) is located on the second floor of a large building on the corner of Foster & Ashland. The main entrance is through a pair of double doors on the first floor at 5153 N Ashland, where patrons walk up a flight of stairs to the second floor and through a series of hallways, into the main theater space.
The building does have elevator access, but there is an additional hallway to navigate with a short landing of 4 stairs. Patrons who are wheelchair users or require other mobility considerations should call our offices at 773-878-4557, 10am-6pm, or email at admin@neofuturists.org. We are happy to discuss providing access to anyone that wants to see our work.
