Department Philosophy

Art, music, and theatre are an essential part of a liberal arts education. The programs offered in each area lead to professional training for majors, but allow any student to participate at a variety of skill levels.

From the time you first set foot on our campus, you will have the opportunity to be an active participant in every mainstage production until you graduate!

Because we believe that theatre is an
experiential art, we strive to include all
students in the production process. On
average, performance majors perform in 12 productions over the course of their D&E careers. Student designers and technicians are involved at every level of the design and production process.

Accredited by the National Association of Schools of Theatre.
