Why choose musical theatre at North Central College?
Here you’ll train to become a “triple threat”—a talented actor, dancer and singer. Unlike most other colleges and conservatories, North Central encourages close connections among theatre, dance and music. As a result, you won’t need to focus exclusively on voice, or acting, or any other single type of performance. You can pursue all your interests, hone your craft through at least six mainstage productions—and graduate as a sought-after professional or graduate school candidate.
You can also:
- Tap into our faculty’s professional network, which extends throughout Chicago’s vibrant theatre community (and beyond).
- Audition for well-known agents and casting directors (including TP&R Casting, Claire Simon Casting and Stewart Talent) as part of the Senior Showcase.
- Direct a show of your choice in our state-of-the-art venues as part of our Student Director Series.
