 University
Department Spotlight - Theatre
The Theatre Arts Department subscribes to the
concept that the theatre represents one of the
most humanizing disciplines of the arts inasmuch

effort which expands the mind, the heart, and

but, on the contrary, believe with Vera Mowry
Roberts in an essay of that title that "All
Theatre is Educational.".. more...
