"Theater and dance are essential forms of human expression that celebrate creative collaboration and critical engagement with our world. In support of the University's liberal arts mission, the Theater
Department provides a dynamic introduction to performance, production, history and literature. Through the study of the history and practice of theater and dance, students develop aesthetic appreciation for art and culture, learn flexible problem solving methods, acquire diverse communication skills and employ creative collaborative processes. These academic and artistic tools and experiences will lead students to contribute their unique talent and training to the betterment of society and the arts."
