Each work was created by a Black artist including beloved CLC art faculty member Terry Dixon who passed away last year and retired CLC art professor and painter Reginald Coleman.

CLC THEATRE SEASON FEATURES VIRTUAL & LIVE PERFORMANCES
The theatre department announces its 51st season with productions including a classic folk tale, hair-raising radio play, farcical comedy, annual student showcase and a musical that puts a modern twist on beloved fairy tale characters.

“During COVID-19, performances may be different, but I think the spirit of theatre will remain intact,” said Craig Rich, theatre department chair. "We are all dealing with a lot right now and the arts are vital to our well-being because they enrich our lives and remind us during our isolation what it means to be a community of human beings."

LEARNING ONLINE THIS FALL
After months of preparation, fall classes at College of Lake County start this week. Since 78 percent of classes at the college are online this semester, every faculty member benefited from professional development to teach them how to create a Zoom classroom experience akin to what students normally experience on-campus.
