The Theatre Department provides graduate and undergraduate curricula in the history, theory, and practice of theater for liberal arts students as well as for students preparing for active competition in some aspects of the academic or professional theater.
The Main Stage Season typically features four productions, including one musical, which are directed by regular faculty members and guest artists. Casts and crews are comprised of both undergraduate or graduate students and are occasionally augmented by guest artists.
The Studio Season varies from year to year in content and personnel involvement as might be expected. Faculty-directed studio productions occur as often as schedules allow, averaging one or two per year and may be included on the Main Stage Schedule. Design assistance is afforded Showcase, Thesis, and Faculty-directed studio productions when available. Other studio offerings may include directing class one-act play festivals, class-related original plays, performance art pieces, and student choreographed dance works.
