About the Department of Theater and Dance

We are home to a wide variety of theater and dance interests among our students, faculty, and professional staff.

New students may begin our curriculum with any 100-level or 200-level course, serving on a back-stage crew, or auditioning for a show.  We also offer work-study jobs in technical theater, audience services, and publicity. 
Or just come see a show!
