The Theatre Program seeks to provide opportunities for individuals to develop their creative talents through study and application. Exploration of perspectives of theatre in Western civilization, cognizance of dramatic literature, and development of creative talents and skills combine to provide SVSU students with a sound understanding of theory and practice. Live theatrical productions provide the individual, the university community, and the community at large with opportunities for artistic and cultural growth.

?A year-round performance schedule is maintained, with eight shows produced per year. The Department offers trips to, and encourages students to participate in the American College Theatre Festival and the National Alliance for Theater Education conference.
