Mission

Theatre is dedicated to the critical study of live performance as a dynamic and influential part of cultural life. The curriculum offers students opportunities for: conceiving, creating, and sharing performances with an audience; critically analyzing dramatic works, performances, and production structures; and examining the intersections of cultures, technologies, audiences, and civic life. 

Theatre programs are in the Visual and Performing Arts area of study and they are part of the Department of Communication, Media, and Performance, which emphasizes a liberal arts approach to learning that encourages students to develop habits of cultural awareness and respect, engaged citizenship, thoughtful professionalism, and a meaningful private life in order to contribute to a more equitable world.
