Department Faculty and Staff

In each area of dance, design, and theatre, the department faculty knows what it takes to succeed in today’s world and possess a passion for mentoring the next generation of artists. As nationally recognized teachers, they bring their extensive professional experiences and connections to the classroom to promote student success and continue serving as resources long after graduation. Our student/faculty ratio is low by design to allow for effective hands-on training and mentoring which is vital to the discipline. The Department of Theatre Arts is a supportive community where the faculty and students know each other and work closely to identify, explore, and flourish in a wide range of individual career options.
