Department Mission
- We believe that creativity and talent should be nurtured by positive and driven faculty and staff who recognize the potential in every individual.
- We believe that students should be given hands-on, professional experiences with individual instruction.
- We believe that theatre is not contained on the stage but can be utilized in every profession and classroom.
- We believe that theatre is a gift and that the talents and skills of each of us were given by God so that we might use them to better understand and appreciate His creation.
