The Department of Theatre aims to:

• Connect our students to faculty who complement classroom learning with creative theatrical, design and technical work.
• Recruit faculty who empower students to excel creatively and academically.
• Give students the tools to synthesize classroom lessons into new works of theatrical art.

We also instill, develop and reward critical thinking in our undergraduate majors with:

• real practice acting, designing, creating and lighting sets, as well as producing, writing and directing
• growth opportunities through our network of local, national and international theater communities
