Our theatre program allows you to explore other worlds, eras, communities, and characters while helping you broaden your horizons and think outside the box.
Interested in where you'll perform?
Throughout the year, you’ll have many opportunities to perform in our beautiful main Theatre, the Ragozzino Performance Hall. Down the hall, our Blue Door Theatre provides an intimate performance space for students to explore theatre and dance performances. These performance spaces also give student designers and technicians the opportunities to work with state of the art equipment in professional-level spaces! Check out technical information and take a look at the view from on stage with our 360 panorama. And then link to the performance hall page, where the image is at top.
