New Trier Performing Arts Stories

by

For more than 100 years, the Performing Arts Department (PAD) at New Trier Township High School in Winnetka, Illinois has turned out scores of Hollywood and Broadway stars. From legends like Ann Margret, Ralph Bellamy, and Charlton Heston, to modern stars like Virginia Madsen, Adam Baldwin, and Rainn Wilson, the list of actors, writers, directors, producers, animators, set designers, costume designers, and more, is long. But why? What is it that makes New Trier so different? In this podcast, we will explore the answers to those questions by directly interviewing the graduates themselves. These are their stories.
