Western Kentucky University Department of Theatre and Dance

Mission Statement:

The mission of the Department of Theatre & Dance is to develop in students the ability to synthesize knowledge and creativity in performance and production, as well as skills in problem solving, group dynamics, and leadership; all intended to make our graduates viable in the professional fields of theatre and dance and/or other vocational endeavors.

About Us:

At Western Kentucky University, we believe that what you learn in the shops, the studios and onstage is every bit as important as what happens in the classroom. Our intensive production season provides plenty of hands on experience.

We offer several different degree programs, all designed to balance theory and practice. We've also brought together a remarkable faculty, an exciting production season, and exceptional facilities so that every component is in place for your success.  We'll challenge you, we'll collaborate with you, and we'll care about you.
