Arts Alliance is the largest student-produced theatrical organization in the country. The purpose of Arts Alliance is to facilitate the production of entirely student produced theatre at Northwestern University. We seek to expand the scope of theatre at Northwestern by creating and fostering an environment where students can apply and develop their artistic and organizational abilities as producers, directors, actors, designers, and administrative staff. Through the productions, we seek to educate and entertain both the participants and the Northwestern and surrounding communities. Under the Arts Alliance umbrella are the mainstage shows, Mee-Ow, Graffiti Dancers, Melodious Thunk and others.

The Arts Alliance board is comprised of a President, Treasurer, at least two Technical Directors, a Publicity Director, a Public Relations Chair, two Production Supervisors, and the Producers of the entire season's shows.
