About

The Freshman Musical is Northwestern’s annual tradition providing barrier-free opportunities for first-year students to engage with theater. All positions such as directors, producers, designers, and cast are held exclusively by freshmen. No matter a student’s major or level of experience, we aim to include everyone, so they can explore their love of theater and build skills both onstage and behind the scenes.


The benefits and services provided by Northwestern University’s student groups are available to all students without regard to any category protected by the law. The University believes different perspectives, experiences and backgrounds are critical to a dynamic and vibrant University community, and as such all students are welcome and encouraged to join each group. Any student interested in exploring establishing a new affinity group should contact SOA.
