See Bill W and Dr Bob Live in Skokie on Friday, September 4, 2026, Doors Open at 7:00 PM

Back in Chicagoland by popular demand! BILL W. AND DR. BOB, a powerful, funny, and profoundly inspirational play detailing the events that led to the creation of Alcoholics Anonymous, returns to Chicagoland at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts. In 1929, famous New York stockbroker Bill Wilson crashes along with the stock market and becomes a hopeless drunk. Dr. Bob Smith, a surgeon from Ohio, has also been an alcoholic for 30 years, often going into the operating room with a hangover. Through an astonishing series of events, the two meet and form a relationship, each helping the other to stay sober. The play tells the remarkable and humorous story of the two men who pioneered Alcoholics Anonymous, as well as the story of their wives, who founded Al Anon.
