Chicago: Teen Edition transports us to the roaring twenties, where Roxie Hart, a chorus girl with big ambitions, murders her unfaithful lover and convinces her devoted husband, Amos, to take the blame—until he realizes the truth. Sent to death row, Roxie encounters fellow “Merry Murderess” Velma Kelly, and the two fierce rivals battle for fame, headlines, and ultimately, freedom.

A dazzling showcase of musical theatre, Chicago has captivated audiences for decades, earning 10 Tony Award nominations for its 1975 premiere and 6 wins for its 1997 revival. With Bob Fosse’s iconic choreography and John Kander and Fred Ebb’s unforgettable score—including showstoppers like “All That Jazz,” “Cell Block Tango,” and “Roxie”—this electrifying production is an experience you won’t want to miss.

NA Theatre believes that the dramatic arts are an essential academic subject that help prepare students for college and career readiness. The theatre program functions as a core curricular area and produces well-rounded and civically-engaged theatrical artists. Every student has the opportunity to participate in a meaningful theatrical experience that cultivates the aesthetic, emotional, intellectual, and physical development of the child. 

The arts, specifically theatre, teach students invaluable 21st-century skills like: 

• Agility and adaptability
• Collaboration across networks
• Critical thinking and problem solving
• Curiosity and imagination

These skills will enable them to thrive not only in their chosen profession but, most importantly, in life. 
 

NA Theatre cultivates four artistic processes that are the way the brain and body make art and define the link between art-making and the learner. 

1. Creating: Conceiving and developing new artistic ideas and work. 
2. Performing: Realizing artistic ideas and work through interpretation and presentation.
3. Responding: Understanding and evaluating how the arts convey meaning.
4. Connecting: Relating artistic ideas and work with personal meaning and external context. 

These processes are rigorously honed through the NA Theatre's productions and its curriculum, beginning with Introduction to Drama and Stagecraft. The curriculum continues with Acting the Method and is followed by Honors Actor's Studio. It concludes with Introduction to the Theatre - KC, which is a collegiate level course taught through Kenyon College's KAP program. More information about each of these classes can be found on their individual pages.
