Belmont Avenue in Chicago.  Theater Wit inaugurated its brand new, $1.3 million venue in the former home of the Bailiwick Arts Centre in June 2010. The new Theater Wit boasts three intimate 99-seat performance spaces - the only theater in Chicago with such a configuration - plus a new box office, administrative offices, a beer, wine, spirits and coffee bar, and a cool, casual lobby.   Theater Wit has extended its current, critically acclaimed Midwest premiere of Completeness, playwright Itamar Moses' newest play about brainy grad students toggling in and out of love, through May 4.  In addition to presenting its own productions, Theater Wit's three 99-seat theaters are booked with an eclectic slate of new plays and musicals by Chicago's most popular and accomplished off-Loop theater companies. To encourage cross-pollination, the company has introduced Chicago's first live theater, Netflix-like membership program.  With a Theater Wit Membership, you can see as many plays as you want at Theater Wit, year round, for one low monthly fee of $36 ($22 for students).
