ABOUT

Oil Lamp Academy is the educational wing of Glenview's
award-winning Oil Lamp Theater, a 60-seat storefront space
that has become a beloved community centerpiece.
Founded in Chicago in 2005, the theater was incorporated as a nonprofit
and established its downtown Glenview location in 2012.
In spring of 2025, Oil Lamp expanded its educational offerings with the establishment
of the 2,750 square foot SPARK CENTER for the Performing Arts -- located at
1009 Waukegan Road, directly across the street from the theater.
In March 2026, Oil Lamp proudly announced the formal launch of
Oil Lamp Academy, repositioning its beloved and quickly-growing education
program as a fully fledged school where artistry meets personal growth.
Offering year-round workshops, classes, and camps for all ages,
Oil Lamp Academy provides opportunities for everyone in our community
to find their voice, grow their creativity and confidence, and build arts-based skills
that will resonate throughout their lives.
