Since its inception, the mission of the Society has been to fund scholarships to promising theatre students at top drama departments in the Chicago area. Members also have the opportunity to take advantage of select local theatre performances featuring an opportunity to meet with the theatre artists involved. Annual trips to New York for an immersive Broadway weekend are also planned.
