Directions

The Theater Department resides in Hixon Hall at
555 N. Sheridan Road on Lake Forest College’s South Campus, near the corner of Sheridan Road and Maplewood Road.

Parking is located in the Maplewood Road parking lot. On campus, Hixon Hall is located behind Moore Hall and just north of the Maplewood Road parking lot.

The Department of Theater’s season continues this spring with 44 Plays for 44 Presidents, a chronological, biographical survey of the lives and presidencies of each of the 44 men who have held the office so far. Originally created by Chicago’s Neo-Futurist Theatre Company (home of the long-running late-night show, Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind), the show veers from comedy to tragedy and back again—much like history itself. Our production of 44 Plays for 44 Presidents will also be part of the 2012 44 Plays Festival—an exciting year-long event linking 44 separate productions of the play across the country.
