We are a Christ centered theatre program that challenges students to develop superior artistic skills in order to serve others in the areas of ministry, education and professional theatre.

The art of theatre integrates the fine arts, the humanities and the performing arts into one experience for all of its participants. The purpose of the Theatre Department is to equip students as Christians who are proficient theatre artists, ministers, and educators. Students are given freedom of expression to develop their skills in areas such as performance, direction, production and design based upon an understanding of the history and literature of theatre.

Students may also choose to become licensed to teach speech, communication, and theatre at the secondary level or gain the necessary educational preparation for graduate study in any of the above areas of Theatre.
