Cheering crowd at concert.

About

At ECC Arts Center, we specialize in the languages everyone understands — laughter, applause, tears, cheers, a song, and a grin. And here, not far from home, we bring you the performances and experiences you may have thought could only be found at the end of a long drive into Chicago or beyond.

Experience amazing performances, delicious pre-show dinners, and easy accommodations (parking is plentiful and free) at ECC Arts Center! In its 29th season, ECC Arts Center features two intimate theatres (the largest seats 670) and presents a range of exhilarating music, theatre, and comedy performances.

ECC Arts Center is home to seven college ensembles: ECC Concert Band, ECC Concert Choir, ECC Jazz Combo, ECC Steel Bands, ECC Musical Theatre, ECC Hip Hop Ensemble, and ECC Theatre; and five community in-residence ensembles: BFH (formerly known as Ballet Folklórico Huehucoyotl), Children’s Theatre of Elgin & Fox Valley Theatre Company, Elgin Master Chorale, Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra, and Hamilton Wings’ SCORE!.
