Few other mediums have the impact on peo- ple like theater has on the minds and imagina- tions of young and old alike. Sitting in a dimmed theater watching a performance allows an individual to transform time and space as they go on adventures with the char- acters before them on stage. Theater provides both the performers and audience a few min- utes to live a life that is not their own. Whether it be drama, comedy, mystery, or romance, theater provides not only entertain- ment to all those involved, but education as well. The Department of Theatre Arts includes in its curriculum: Directing, Design, Dance, and many other aspects of the performing arts world. Theater allows students with advanced apti- tude in both performance and design to com- bine upper decision work from both areas. Achieving a degree requires diverse talent, but dedication and the desire are essential. SPECIAL THANKS TO THE DEPT.
