Musical Theatre BA

at North Central College

As a musical theatre major, each student will train to become a “triple threat” in acting, dancing and singing. Unlike a conservatory environment, the musical theatre program at North Central encourages exploring different kinds of performing arts across theatre, dance and music. This program is designed to prepare you to succeed in any theatrical environment but is especially equipped to help you audition nearby in the Chicago theatre scene for companies like Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Steppenwolf, The Other Theatre Company, Goodman Theatre, and Greenhouse Theatre. At North Central, you’ll study with faculty who are accomplished actors and dramaturgs working in the Chicago theatre scene. You will have ample opportunity to act, sing, dance, direct plays and even write and produce your own dramatic art productions. Students looking to further develop their skills in the theatre arts will find a strong start to their career at North Central.
