These are showcase Classes that end with performances (or film premier) for each class for family, friends and the community to enjoy. Showcase classes are stripped down productions that feature the talents of the students. Any questions please contact Erin at erin@citadeltheatre.org. All classes are taught by Teaching Artists who are professionals in the theatre industry. Classes typically take place at the Lake Forest Rec Center at 400 Hastings Rd, Lake Forest, IL. Tech and shows take place at Citadel Theatre at 300 S Waukegan Rd, Lake Forest, IL. Classes require a minimum of 6 students to run and a maximum of 25.
