Teen Acting in Chicago?

Although I know this question has been answered to death, I really am having my own problems even with looking stuff up on the web. I am a 16 year old male, currently in highschool, and consider myself fairly interested in acting. I have participated in school productions whenever I can, and even am the lead in my school's spring musical. Now I want to expand my experience and branch out, as I do not want to stay in just school productions. Sadly where do I turn to? Chicago is 2 hours time away from where I live (Aurora), and sadly the Paramount Theatre no longer offers classes. Any tips on how to expand? Anyone know a good place for classes nearby? Or even good agencies or something? Any advice is of course greatly appreciated. Thanks!
