Chicago Children’s Theatre has found an innovative way to offer an engrossing event that will get families out of their claustrophobic basements and into the fresh outdoors. And it’s a success! “The Beatrix Potter Drive-In Theatre Experience,” which was originally scheduled to run from Oct.1–18, has been such a big hit that it’s been extended to Nov. 1.
Utilizing the theater company’s empty parking spaces and repurposing them into an old-fashioned style drive-in is an inventive approach for engaging little tykes and their parents.
