"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."

Bryan Bosque Theater
“I fully immersed myself in the Theater department and at the McAninch Arts Center as a student aide. The dual responsibilities allowed me to become familiar with the facets of both the art and the business.”

William "Sandy" Smillie Theater
"College of DuPage gave me the chance to see if what I wanted to do was really what I wanted to do," he said. "I also met people at COD and BTE who are directly responsible for some absolutely critical events in my career. I can genuinely say I would not be where I am to day if it weren't for my decision to go to COD."

Matt Armstrong Theater
"I don't know that I realized at the time just how lucky I was at COD. I loved it there to be sure, and I had amazing mentors like Connie and Craig Berger. But I was spoiled. Four-year universities don't typically do four or five student productions a year."

Christopher Kriz Theater
"Without the broad range of artistic experiences and opportunities I gained at College of DuPage, I wouldn't be the artist I am today."

Ron May Theater
"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."
