Thank you for your interest in the Theatre Conservatory at the Chicago College of Performing Arts (CCPA) at Roosevelt University! Located in the heart of downtown Chicago, CCPA is just steps away from Chicago's bustling theatre district and the Tony Award-winning Goodman, Steppenwolf, Lookingglass, and Chicago Shakespeare Theatres – and our students have graced the stages of them all.

Please note that all applicants to our programs must first complete a Roosevelt University online application, available here. Students who apply through GetAcceptd but do not complete Roosevelt University's online application will not be considered for admission.

Interested in our NEW BA program? The BA program in Interdisciplinary Theatre Studies is designed to provide students with a flexible, broad-based education in theatre. Students in this program have the option to pursue a particular specialization within the study of theatre, such as stage management, design, directing or dramaturgy, or can couple their study of theatre with a non-theatrical discipline such as business, social justice, psychology or art. The course of study for a student enrolled in the Interdisciplinary Theatre Studies Program can be customized to the student’s particular interests and career goals.
