"Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts." - Aristotle

Applying that to theatre, we become Actors by acting, Designers by designers and Directors by directing. It is such a simple concept that it may seem obvious. After all, excellent musicians become excellent by combining scholarly work and rehearsal with performance. Athletes learn the game, practice and compete. Scientists study, make assumptions and test those assumptions in the laboratory to advance the understanding of their field.

As Theatre Artists, we seek to expand our understanding of what it is to be human and live in the world through a liberal arts curriculum. We learn theories and methods of how to communicate the essence of literature and the craft of creating theatre through theatre coursework. We work at bring our education, training and experiences to the performance laboratory of the stage where we test our assumptions, make connections, perfect our skills and occasionally may experience the unique interaction where we touch other humans and share an ephemeral moment of Art.

We offer a strong curriculum and many opportunities to deepen students understandings of how to create engaging, vital theatre for contemporary audiences.
