To complement course work in performance and production, the SPU Theatre Department produces a wide range of plays in diverse styles, with performances every quarter. These plays and musicals are open to all students, regardless of major. In addition to auditioning to be cast in these productions, students have the opportunity to be involved in all areas of production, including directing, design, stage management, and publicity.
Academic scholarship in theatre at Seattle Pacific will expose you to a broad cross-section of dramatic literature, theory, and historical perspective. Students will develop an informed perspective of the role of theatre as a social, spiritual, and artistic institution and their place in it.
