From the Chair:
Art sustains and expands the human spirit; many artists would say that the act of creating is necessary for personal survival. Art challenges our assumptions, broadens our view of the world, and provides understanding of our common humanity. Participation in art making uniquely develops critical thinking and problem solving skills that transfer to discipline and success in a multitude of diverse careers. Participation in Theatre and Dance connects us to others, teaching us about the nature of collaboration and the individual’s need to articulate what can only be expressed via the creativity of the arts.
Our students and dedicated faculty strive to make the passion for our craft visible in each production that we do. In an effort to enhance the quality of our Theatre and Dance programs, our faculty, staff, students, and members of our Advisory Board have given monetary donations to our programs this year. To each of these supporters, our students and faculty say thank- you.
