In case you couldn’t make it to the event, we’re happy to share with you that the Auditorium Theatre Auxiliary Board hosted the fifth annual Devil’s Ball, presented by Rivers Casino, on Friday, October 2.
This year, the cocktail party fundraiser benefiting the Auditorium Theatre welcomed approximately 300 guests into the Auditorium’s historic lobby for dancing, hors d’oeuvres, theatre tours, wine auction and raffle.

Attendees were treated to a surprise musical performance by Environmental Encroachment, who have been creating marching band spectacles in Chicago since 1994, and close-up magic by Benjamin Barnes.
The money raised through Devil’s Ball benefits the programming, educational outreach opportunities, and restoration of the Auditorium, Chicago’s iconic and legendary National Historic Landmark building.
Take a look back at the Smilebooth moments that helped make the night magical.
This evening could never have been possible without the commitment and the generosity of our dedicated members of the Auxiliary Board. Over the past five years, they have helped Devil's Ball grow and flourish. In that time, the Auxiliary Board has welcomed more than one thousand people into the theatre for this occasion, and has helped raise awareness of, and support for, this incredible National Historic Landmark.
This 5th anniversary is not merely an indication of all that the Auxiliary Board has achieved—it’s a compelling reminder of the expansive possibilities that await! We look forward to future milestones, and we welcome the chance to share them with you.
Thank you to our Devil's Ball Sponsors!
