The Theatre and Dance Series is the Department of Theatre and Dance’s main production season, featuring five to seven theatrical productions and three dance concerts annually. Selected works span classic and contemporary repertoire, exposing students to a broad range of styles. The Studio Theatre Series offers a more flexible, low-cost environment for students and faculty to create work quickly. Focused on acting as an art form, it serves as a laboratory for exploration, emphasizing character, voice, speech, and movement over full production elements.
