Theatre Department

For more than 60 years, the SPU Theatre Department has had a history of producing a wide range of plays in diverse styles, with performances every quarter.

These plays and musicals have been open to all students, regardless of major. In addition to auditioning to be cast in these productions, students have been involved in all areas of production, including directing, design, stage management, and publicity. Students also developed an informed perspective of the role of theatre as a social, spiritual, and artistic institution and their place in it.

Don’t miss this season’s final Main Stage production, The Voice of the Prairie, as well as the Styles Showcase! Find more information about the productions here.

Here’s where you can buy tickets to the Spring Showcase production of The Voice of the Prairie!

“Theatre’s roots lie in religion, community, celebration, myth making, and delight. Its sociological and philosophical complexity is overwhelming. As a human study it is eminently worthy of academic focus.”
