The Theatre and Dance Program offers in-depth training and extensive co-curricular experiential opportunities that rivals and exceeds similar programs throughout the country. Alongside our majors, we serve students from Media Arts, RIM, Music, Arts and Entertainment, Fashion, Interior Design, and Studio Arts. Projection continues to be a critical component of instruction and production in our industry and department. The current projector is insufficient according to testing done for the space, not meeting intensity levels acceptable for instruction or production. Replacement would benefit campus-wide facility use for high profile internal and external events. Rigging is a new course that has met curricular success. Adding chain motors, trussing, and power/control distribution will enhance instruction and benefit Theatre and Dance production seasons. Dance continues to grow in the number of majors and is preparing for NASD accreditation. Audio, video, and projection capabilities are needed to support instruction and production rehearsals.
