Porchlight Music Theatre Chicago

Education and Outreach: Porchlights education and outreach program provides focused training and experiences for Chicago youth to create, practice, perform and appreciate the unique American art form of music theatre. Through its fee-based classes and summer camps, Porchlight welcomes children from 4-17 years of age, many of whom received full or partial scholarships. Porchlight also provides customized in-school, after-school and community organization programs that include focused skills training, supporting the production of full-length musicals across the city, as well as our signature Sing Out! literacy and theater residency that leads students to create their own musical adaptation of a book. In the 2024-2025 season, Porchlight partnered with 7 schools, reaching hundreds of local kids. Porchlight is a strategic source vendor and a qualified and preferred arts partner with Chicago Public Schools.
