Why choose theatre at North Central College?
You’ll study with faculty who include accomplished actors working in major Chicago venues. These professor/performers will share their experiences—as well as their professional connections—with you. And because North Central has huge opportunities but small classes, you’ll have plenty of chances to act, sing and dance; direct shows; master lighting design and other technical crafts; and even write and produce your own plays and musicals. Whether you want to shine onstage or backstage, North Central is the place to be.
You can also:
- Attend workshops and master classes with luminaries like Jane Alderman, Matt Miller and Stephen Louis Grush.
- Concentrate in performance, technical theatre, directing or playwriting.
- 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 facilities as part of our Student Director Series.
