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.
