Chicago - Specialized Workshops & Seminars


Manhattan Tour & Travel 1.800.879.6828




Book a SEMINAR when you take a trip with us, and enjoy a private talk-back session with a performer or technician from one of the shows you will have seen.

Schedule a hands-on WORKSHOP, and enjoy professional level work sessions with outstanding artists currently working in Chicago. We have contacts in all areas of the creative and performing arts… from photography to improv comedy (take a class at The Second City!); musical conducting to fashion design; from singing to set construction.

AFTER-PERFORMANCE VISITS can be arranged. Our Chicago groups have enjoyed meeting the casts and directors after a show at Steppenwolf, the Goodman, and the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre.

TOURS of Chicago’s famous downtown landmark theatres have been very popular. Visit the Ford Oriental, the Palace, the Chicago, the Lyric Opera House, and most famous of all, the Auditorium Theatre – known worldwide for its stunning architecture and acoustic perfection.
 
HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF OUR CHICAGO EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS:

  • The Joffrey Ballet Company has conducted master classes in both ballet and modern techniques for our dance students.
  • The Second City Training Program has taught acting classes for us in all levels of improvisational theatre.
  • Steppenwolf Theatre opened its doors for our college student groups to meet with their Casting and Theatre Management teams, tour their facilities, and talk with their artistic directors and actors.

  • The Art Institute has provided brilliant docents to guide our groups through this world famous museum, with special time spent seeing Seurat’s Sunday on La Grande Jatte
