The Acting Program At...

The Theatre Arts Department is part of the College of Arts and Sciences. Among the college's essential goals are:

That all students undertake research so that they experience the excitement of new knowledge and change. That all students be exposed to major ethical dilemmas they will face in the world. That all students look at the world through the eyes of someone different from themselves.

Opportunities for students to learn theatre by making it include:

Mainstage Productions: Annual season of fully-produced shows directed by faculty or guest artists and designed by faculty or advanced graduate and undergraduate students.   Anyone may audition for all productions. The repertoire includes classics, contemporary plays, and musical theatre.

Studio Theatre: Student produced, directed, acted, designed, and managed work that emphasizes the play and performance over production values. Repertoire includes one-act plays, lesser known works, and new material.
