North Shore Dance & Theater

children's theater

Our theater division (formerly known as Take Two Children’s Theatre) is a theater for children performed by children ages five to eighteen! We believe that different age groups can work together to create a high-quality production. Our young actors and actresses work together while learning stage directions, voice projection, fluency, and movement all while they bring the magic to life on stage come opening night! Most auditions, rehearsals, and performances take place at Glenview United Methodist Church in Glenview, IL. It's easily accessible from the North and Northwest Suburbs in Cook and Lake Counties. Our young actors come from throughout North Chicago and the North Shore suburbs.
