Theatre and Dance

The Department of Theater and Dance, with generous funding from Harry and Dalys Jaecker, commissioned Lisa Kron to write The Veriz**n Play. The World Premier directed by Anne Kauffman with run from November 10th-13th, 2010 in the Thomas H. Kean Black Box Theater in the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts.

The Theatre Arts Department is dedicated to a broad-based study of the history, theory, and practice of theatre in the context of a liberal arts education that is integrally connected to a rigorous production program centering on student involvement and leadership. This interaction of the academic and the practical generates an ongoing symbiosis, with each focus actively informing and inspiring the other. Along with growing more knowledgeable and skilled as theatre artists and scholars, our students also develop as critical thinkers and responsible collaborators.
