About BDT

Blue Demon Theatre (BDT) is a student organization with a vision to inspire DePaul University students from all walks of life to be active theatre makers. Our events include cabaret performances, guest speakers, workshops, original works, 10-minute play performances, play productions, and musical productions. We believe in creating an environment for actors, directors, playwrights, stage managers, singers, musicians, dancers, makeup artists, prop masters, costume designers, light designers, set designers, sound designers, and many other artists to practice their craft. Theatre is an art form that requires the collaboration of a multitude of artists. It is through this collaboration that a strong sense of community is formed. ​

Our Mission

Blue Demon Theatre supports DePaul University students to actively produce theatre work that is creative, inclusive, and inspiring.

Creative

Inclusive

 We are committed to uplifting diverse voices and practicing inclusivity in our productions. We invite students from all walks of life and levels of experience to join. 

Inspiring

We push our members to be active participants in the Chicago theatre scene and to give audiences performances that are educational, entertaining, and compelling.
