American Eagle Productions

American Eagle Productions is a well-established performing arts education organization celebrating 30 years of providing theatre workshops, assembly programming, after-school enrichment classes, and summer camps to children ages 4-13 in the Chicagoland area. Led by veterans of the Chicago theatre scene Linda Madonia and Jessica Texidor, who have worked together for more than 20 years, the company bridges the gap between theatre and the classroom with top-notch theatrical education and production experiences.

The organization offers After School Enrichment Theatre Classes for winter and other seasons at various school locations throughout the Chicago area. Their programming emphasizes professional-quality instruction from experienced teaching artists who are trained in both theatre performance and education. The curriculum is designed to be developmentally appropriate while providing children with authentic theatrical training and performance opportunities.

Summer Camps are offered through partnerships with organizations including the Naperville Park District and at Chicago locations. Camps are structured for ages 4-13 and culminate in full theatrical productions where students showcase skills learned during the camp session. The company has maintained its production-focused camp model even through challenging times when many other children’s performing arts organizations closed.

American Eagle Productions also provides In-School Residencies that bring theatre education directly into school classrooms, and School Productions & Workshops that offer assembly programming and theatrical experiences for entire school communities. These programs are designed to complement classroom learning while exposing students to the performing arts.

The teaching philosophy emphasizes building confidence, creativity, teamwork, and communication skills through theatrical training. The company maintains high standards for instruction quality while ensuring programs remain accessible and fun for young performers. With three decades of experience, American Eagle Productions has developed a trusted reputation for delivering engaging, educational, and professionally-run theatre programs that inspire children’s love of performing arts.
