to 1994! We're looking back at the Elgin Community College Arts Center's (then called the Visual and Performing Arts Center) first-ever season brochure!

One of our favorite discoveries? Patrons were asked to check their pagers with the House Manager and provide their seat location so they would be notified of any calls.😊😊

Fast forward 32 years, and while the tech has changed, the magic of live performance has not. Speaking of brochures, the 2026-27 ECC Arts Center Season Brochure will be landing in your mailboxes this August. Get ready for a world-class lineup of music, theatre, dance, and comedy.

Keep up-to-date on everything ECC Arts Center at eccartscenter.org or call the friendly folks at our Box Office, 847-622-0300.

You don't want to miss this!!! "When We Are Older", an original opera created by kids will be showing on Saturday, June 27th, 7:00 PM at Elgin Community College, Arts Center's Blizzard Theatre. 🎼

In this sweeping drama of grief and betrayal, two young girls, Crystal and Mia, forge an inseparable bond amidst the rain-soaked sorrow of a funeral. However, their devotion is soon tested by the poisonous lies of a jealous peer, leading to a public confrontation that costs Crystal’s mother her livelihood and shatters the girls' relationship. Through a series of sharp, melodic arguments and a tragic final insult, the two are forced to confront the fragility of trust and the heavy burden of guilt. Spanning fifteen years from a somber playground to a chance encounter in a distant coffee shop, When We Are Older explores whether time can truly heal the wounds of the past or if some bridges, once burned, remain lost to the echoes of memory.
