The Arts Leadership Program is a two-year Master of Fine Arts (MFA) program that combines full-time employment at Chicago Shakespeare Theater with coursework through The Theatre School at DePaul University. The program is designed to help students become highly versatile in management, leadership and cultural-decision making. Course components are complemented by full-time, salaried work experience at Chicago Shakespeare Theater. Fellows learn from a distinguished faculty of working professionals who posses a wide variety of backgrounds and expertise and receive on-the-job training at the nation’s fastest growing theater company.

We are currently accepting applications for the 2013 academic year. For priority consideration, completed applications should be postmarked by December 15. Please visit The Theatre School at DePaul University's website for more information, or, contact artsleadership@chicagoshakes.com.
