“My advice to other students is to give the Theater program everything you’ve got. This is a program that you will not get at any other institution. College of DuPage makes so many things possible for students. The staff loves their students and they go above and beyond to make sure they succeed. Gaining an education at COD before going to a four-year institution will set you up to be a more successful student and lead you down a clearer path.”

“Being able to work and be taught by professional actors was instrumental in establishing my work ethic. In addition to developing the basics of acting technique, the professionals at COD taught me how to audition, what my resume should look like and what to expect after academia. College of DuPage provides excellent resources to learn how to be a professional.”

“When I hit the stage at Southern Illinois University, I had so much experience that I was cast in the leads. If I had gone to SIU as a freshman, I never would have got my feet on the boards like I did at COD."

"I have always said and will continue to say to anyone who listens how proud I am of my education at COD. The classes I took, and the relationships I made, the experiences and opportunities that came along with being a student in the Theater program have shaped the artist I am today."

"To this day, there are things I find myself regurgitating from classes I took what seems like forever ago from Connie Canaday Howard, Craig Berger and Jodie Briggs. Truthfully, I still credit Connie with a lot of my 'career path' landing where it did."
