Theatre Arts

Courses in theatre arts are offered to provide fundamental
instruction to three types of students: 1.) those preparing for
careers in the professional theatre; 2.) those preparing to teach
theatre; and 3.) those wishing to study the art and literature of
the theatre for cultural enrichment.

Four complete theatre productions are presented each
year, including a musical during the first summer session.
Participation in these productions is not limited to theatre
majors. All students interested in theatre are invited and
