University Theatre is the producing organization of the Theatre Program in the English, Theatre and Language Department.

The mission of the Theatre Program of the English, Theatre and Language Department is to provide our students with a comprehensive theatre background within the liberal arts framework of the University. Through an academic program covering most aspects of theatre study and a planned experiential program involving the practice of theatre production, the program strives to provide a complete theatre education. Our graduates should be able to participate in entry level positions in the theatre workforce, to enroll in and compete graduate school successfully, to work in community and regional theatres throughout their productive lives, and to have an enhanced appreciation for all aspects of theatre performance from the point of view of either participant or audience member.
