Theatre Plays and Productions
As well as offering theatre majors and minors programming, the Theatre Department is open to all students, as well as faculty, staff, and sometimes community members who wish to participate in productions. The Theatre presents a variety of productions, special events, and improv shows throughout the academic year. Everyone on campus and in the local community are invited to attend performances.
Additionally, productions and programming, open to campus and the community, are presented in collaboration with our Artist in Residence, Gaslight Theatre Company, in December, March, and over the summer. Gaslight's theatre season announcement is coming soon.
