The Acting Program At...

At Illinois Wesleyan University's School of Theatre Arts, you'll be valued for who you are. Our low faculty-student ratio ensures you'll enjoy close mentoring relationships with our faculty, and the close-knit campus community means you'll never feel like "just a number." Because IWU is strictly an undergraduate institution, you'll never be taught by graduate students or compete with them for opportunities.
We focus on you.

But we don't just want to flatter you. We want you to be challenged to stretch yourself. You'll have the opportunity to explore all aspects of theatre through coursework and hands-on experiences, both on-campus and off. You'll broaden your base of knowledge through our liberal arts program.
You may discover some passions you never knew you had!

By the end of your four years here, you will feel enabled to succeed. You will have begun your own network of contacts, through our alumni, your internship, your jobs working summer stock, and the visitors we bring in for Guest Artist Days. You will have a good resume, a  game plan for beginning your career, and a superior educational foundation on which to build your dreams.
