The Division of Performing Arts has an active production schedule of main stage theatrical productions and a number of small studio works, as well as offering design and technical support for the dance and music events. The main stage productions are in either the C.D. Smith III Theatre, a black box/experiential space, or the larger Miller Theater. Students interested in Design and/or the Technical area can choose their level of involvement, which can be anywhere from taking a design class to learning the basic tools to designing the sound, lighting, make-up, costumes or scenery. Our program is small enough to focus on the individual needs of each student while recognizing and further developing the unique talents each student brings to the program. Students are encouraged to learn about the wholeness and complexity of any type of performance, and to recognize the necessity for seamless collaboration between the director/producer, designer and craft persons. Offering technical support for music and dance exposes students to the the different needs of non-theatre productions.
