Past Theatre Productions

The Theatre Department strives to present a wide variety of dramatic works: everything from new works to Sophocles to Shakespeare to Simon. We seek to do plays that delight and challenge, while giving our students experience in a wide variety of genres and periods.

 

Past productions have often served as the basis for Senior Integration Projects. Students have directed, acted, designed sets or costumes and written plays for this senior thesis project. In addition to the production work, rigorous pre-production research and planning, reflection on the process as it unfolds, and the final product are elements of these SIPs.

What Do You Most Enjoy about Your Major?
"I absolutely love my professors. I spend a lot of time with them from classes to rehearsals, which results in more of a mentor relationship. I think I have cried with all of them. That is one of the perks of a smaller department."
 - theatre major Cara Smole '22

Jon Schimpf

Which Professor Has Most Impacted Your Thinking?
"Professor Hallstrom has taught me so much and has challenged the way that I view art and theatre. In Christian circles, art can often seem like an ostracizing activity, but Professor Hallstrom has shown me that art and theatre are not only ways we can worship the Lord, but they are also ways to minister to non-believers. By telling stories that teach biblical virtues in beautiful and thought-provoking ways, art and theatre can minister in ways that other forms of ministry may not be able to."
 - theatre major Jon Schimpf '23
