Join Steppenwolf's Young Adult Council

Be the next generation of leaders in American theatre

THE YOUNG ADULT COUNCIL is a unique after-school program for passionate and motivated high school students who want to learn the inner-workings of professional theatre from the most celebrated artists in the city. In addition to invaluable face-time with these leading professionals, Council members attend the best plays in Chicago, learn how to analyze and speak about these plays, and organize events for their peers around Steppenwolf productions in hopes of inspiring a new generation of theatre enthusiasts and practitioners. Council members receive a stipend for their commitment to rigorous and exciting work.
