What is nwtheatre?

Niles West Theatre - or nwtheatre as it is commonly known - is an active and vivacious group of actors, technicians and artists at Niles West High School in Skokie, Illinois.  There are nearly 150 students who participate in the curricular and co-curricular activities of Niles West Theatre.

Each year, nwtheatre presents a production season of five mainstage plays and two studio productions in one of our two performance spaces: A 1300 seat proscenium auditorium and a state-of-the-art Black Box Theatre.

We are always looking for new students in classes and productions!

Check the callboard (either online or in the Theatre Classroom) or see Mr.Sinclair for more information.
