About the Theatre Arts Department

The mission of the Theatre Arts Department is to create a learning community that embraces progressive social consciousness, spirituality, parity, diversity and personal development. Viewing theatre as a discipline that embraces many other fields, the goal is to empower students to become highly skilled, self-motivated, socially aware theatre artists and engaged citizens.

The Theatre Arts program is designed for majors and non-major participants. It is an experiential, production-oriented program. Along with providing a thorough background in dramatic literature and world theatre history, the program encourages students to develop an emphasis in one or more special areas, such as performance, directing, design, playwriting, literary criticism, musical theatre, children's theatre, and stage management, through electives and directed study courses.
