Theatre is the
art of giving life in performance to dramatic literature. Production is at
the very center of our award-winning Theatre and Dance program.

dance concerts on its "modified thrust" Mainstage, and in the Jerry
Harper Studio Theatre, a fully-equipped, black-box space.

and on average more than 100 majors, non-majors and members of the
community are involved in our productions each year. All Theatre and
