Why Theater and Dance?
The Department of Theater and Dance is a vibrant hub for makers, storytellers, and performers.
Faculty Who are Practicing Professionals
All areas of study are taught by faculty who are practicing professionals. They are actors, dancers, designers, archivists, writers, directors, choreographers and lecturers. Their creative and scholarly work is presented locally, nationally and internationally.
