Student Organizations

Express yourself, collaborate with others and explore your artistic side in dance, music, theater and the visual arts.

Theatre Productions

Each year, faculty members from the department work with students to produce two to three theatre productions. Professional guest artists may be invited to participate and students from all majors can choose to audition or work in off-stage supporting roles.
