NTA is a multi-age performing arts program that trains future artists and audiences alike. We combine fundamental courses such as acting, improv, and on-camera technique with production opportunities in the largest professional theatre on Chicago's North Shore.
NTA is build on the belief that self-expression, creative thought and confidence are the keys to well-being. We believe the arts teach these skills by encouraging reflective thought, discipline and collaboration.
