Timber Lake Playhouse is Illinois' oldest continuously-running professional summer stock theatre. They offer live theater productions May-Sept. Reservations required.
Timber Lake Playhouse has been in existence since 1961 as a not-for-profit professional summer stock theatre and is dedicated to providing a center for cultural opportunity for developing artists and a showcase of quality theatre for the residents of the midwest, particularly in northwestern Illinois and eastern Iowa.

The theatre hosts annual educational workshops for children and teens in conjunction with the Magic Owl Family Theatre's productions of plays and musicals for young people and their families.
Timber Lake is proud of its national reputation for excellence as a professional summer stock theatre.
