<p>I was thinking of taking a trip to Chicago this summer with my HS sophomore aged daughter. We’d like to check out NU theatre/MT department and possibly take a tour. Is anyone around in the summer ?</p>
<p>I took a similar trip with last summer with my son who was a rising senior at the time. We were able to set up an official tour with both the theatre department and the entire school. It was definitely worthwhile, espeically if you’re going to be in the area anyway. There weren’t a ton of students around, but summer school was going on so it didn’t feel dead either. We were able to tour all of the theatre facilities inside and out and ask a lot of questions, which was very helpful. There were a suprising number of parents and students doing the same thing. The admissions office is extremely organized in getting large numbers of people through their guided tours. Good luck!</p>
<p>Here’s what’s going on this summer in theatre at Northwestern:</p>
