"Theatre is a clear window into the mind, the soul, the heart of humankind--the study of which should be the aim of higher education. Theatre brings life to learning."
Jane Alexander, Actor
Chair, National Endowment for the Arts (1993-1997)
ATHE Conference 1997

Offering students the opportunity to seek answers is the mission of the department. To that end we seek to accomplish these learning goals:

• To create an environment that is both rigorous and encouraging,
• To provide direct learning experiences in the classroom and
• To recognize indirect learning experiences outside of the classroom--intellectual, emotional, and physical,
• To understand the need that each culture possesses for self-expression,
• To embrace the collaborative nature of the discipline.
