Drama II studies history of the theater (both Western and non-Western), acting techniques and schools. Drama III and Drama IV study production, directing and theater management.

 

The Vocal Music and Instrumental (Band and Orchestra) Music Programs reflect a long tradition of music excellence and achievement within the context of a college preparatory school. The music curriculum is designed to provide the serious music student with the opportunity and challenge of advancing and extending their talents over a fully articulated four year program. In addition music majors are required to take a year of Music Harmony, a year of Music Theory, and participate in school performances. Lincoln Park is ranked as one of the top ten music programs in the State of Illinois.
