At our theatre classes, we understand the importance of building confidence and self-esteem in young people. Our classes provide an outlet for children to learn and practice the basics of theatre, as well as develop important life skills. Through our classes, young actors can practice their craft while also learning the fundamentals of public speaking, social support, problem solving, and more. 

By providing our students with the opportunity to audition for roles, we give them a chance to practice their craft in a fun and engaging way. During the session, they will practice their lines with their directors and become part of an ensemble for the show. Finally, they will have a chance to showcase their talent to the world in a live performance. 

At our theatre classes, we strive to make sure our students are growing and developing in a positive way. We are proud to offer a variety of classes to students from the age of 4 to 18, and we are committed to helping them become the best possible version of themselves.

An outstanding small theater company! It is so lovely to be able to witness quality plays outside of downtown Chicago. Definitely advisable!
