Overview
The Theatre course from North Central College curriculum offers study in Acting, Directing & Dramaturgy, Theatrical Design & Technology, and Musical Theatre.
We aim to make our students attractive to employers through broad-based liberal arts training that expands lifelong career opportunities, while providing focused and rigorous training.
We offer unique opportunities such as immediate engagement on mainstage productions, individualized mentorship and feedback, and the structured career launch of the graduating senior showcase in downtown Chicago for performers. Our faculty are professionals conversant in emerging standards and practices, ensuring that our graduates are prepared both long-term and directly following graduation, and we bring in frequent guest artists to assure a variety of approaches and networking.
Unlike other programs, students see stage time immediately, whether on design, performance, or even assistant directing. We offer an extraordinary six-show production season, including two musicals plus a seventh production that features dance. You will have ample opportunity to act, sing, dance, design, direct plays and even write and produce your own productions.
Whether you want to shape what happens onstage with directing or design, or shine onstage through acting and musical theatre, a theatre major with North Central provides a strong basis for your career goals.
As a theatre major, you can:
- Attend additional workshops and intensives with guest artists
- Audition for well-known agents and casting directors as part of the Senior Showcase
- Direct a show of your choice in our state-of-the-art facilities as part of our student Storefront Series
- Have frequent and focused opportunities as part of a production team
- Tap into our faculty’s professional network, which extends throughout Chicago’s vibrant theatre community (and beyond)
