CELEBRATING 30 YEARS!
Our children's theater division, formerly Take Two Children’s Theatre, empowers children ages 5 to 18 to shine on stage. We foster collaboration across age groups to create high-quality performances.
Young actors learn key stagecraft skills—stage directions, voice projection, fluency, and movement—while bringing stories to life with creativity and passion.
All auditions, rehearsals, and performances are held at Glenview United Methodist Church in Glenview, IL—conveniently serving families throughout North Chicago and the North and Northwest Suburbs of Cook and Lake Counties. Join us and experience the magic of theater firsthand!
Get ready to “sleigh” the holidays! Our talented young performers are excited to present Elf the Musical Jr.! Join us for a heartwarming adventure filled with laughter and cheer. Bring your family and friends to share in the magic—after all, the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!
