Student highlights:

“I spent 2 years trying to figure out what to do with my life and eventually it all came back to stage management and theatre. With my big love for Chicago and the resources through UIC, there was no hesitation. Learning from professors like Collette (Scene Designer) or Erin (Production Manager) gives us students real hands on opportunities while learning to fall and get back up. I’m sad to be leaving such a life changing program that came into my life at the perfect time. Unsure of what I’d be doing now if I didn’t submit my application to attend UIC School of Theatre & Music. 💙❤️”

“I chose UIC because of the outstanding faculty and staff. At UIC I got to learn from professionals I respect and with their support I’ve grown as an artist.”
