Wheelock College offers many courses in music, theater, and arts in education, and is also home to the professional, non-profit Wheelock Family Theater. Students will find opportunities to participate in the performing arts both on campus and throughout the Colleges of the Fenway. Students are particularly encouraged to join the NEW COF Chorus, which is open to everyone in the COF community! Wheelock students should also consider joining smaller ensembles at COF or auditioning for the COF Orchestra.

Theater

Wheelock Family Theater
Now in its 24th year, this award-winning, non-profit, equity theater operates on the Wheelock College campus. It typically performs three mainstage productions each year --- usually one family musical, a children’s play appealing to all ages, and an adult drama or comedy. Past productions include Pippi Longstocking, Bel Canto, and many others. Staged readings of original works are also performed in the Little Theater on the Wheelock Campus.

Although it is an independent organization, the Wheelock Family Theater seeks to offer opportunities for students who may audition for shows, work as volunteers on various projects, or arrange an internship. Students interested in opportunities at the Wheelock Family Theater may contact Charles Baldwin at cbaldwin@wheelock.edu.

Music

Wheelock College is home to a “Signing Chorus” and Handbell Choir, as well as various vocal performance ensembles. These are offered for academic credit, so interested students must register for them. For further information about ensembles at Wheelock College, please contact Leland Clarke at lclarke@wheelock.edu.
