Dill Pickle Club Advertisement
One of many "little theaters" in Chicago during the 1910s and 1920s, the Dill Pickle Club featured plays by Strindberg, Ibsen, O'Neill, and Ben Hecht. The low-budget productions featured homemade sets and amateur actors. Along with jazz dances, art shows, and lectures, theater productions drew an eclectic audience of bohemians, young working people, and adventure-seeking middle-class Chicagoans.
