Elmhurst University Theatre & Dance at the Mill Elmhurst University Dept. Of Theatre & Dance All student performers and technicians tackle a variety of acting, technical, and leadership challenges.

From wacky improvisation to serious drama, Elmhurst College theatre has engaged audiences with thought-provoking productions since the 1920's. Each year, Elmhurst theatre faculty and students collaborate on a full season of musicals, plays, student-directing projects, and children's theatre. Mill performances ask probing questions, offer new ways to see the world, and showcase a variety of genres and playwrights. All productions take place in the College’s intimate Mill Theatre, a converted sawmill that has housed Elmhurst’s theatre program since 1969. At the Mill, Elmhurst theatre, musical theatre, and theatre education majors work alongside Biology majors, English majors, and more.
