I recently took my junior in HS daughter to Illinois and the Chicago area to visit colleges for acting programs. We visited several schools that would be expected (Illinois, DePaul, Roosevelt) but also visited Elmhurst college in the suburbs. It seemed like a very nice school. The facilities for theatre were not as extensive as other schools, but the people were very warm and pleasant. We sat in on an acting class and dance class and the instruction seemed quality. Does anyone on the forum know what kind of reputation Elmhurst has in the Chicago theatre community? Are the students respected and competitive for jobs? My D really liked it, but we just aren’t sure.
