Theatre Arts is the essence of the humanities in that it is the only art form that incorporates all the other fine arts into its final product. Our primary goal is to educate the whole person, to emphasize comprehensive education. Everyone should experience the dynamics of theatre, and our ensemble technique teaches cooperation, teamwork, and communication. The skills learned in producing theatre are necessary in every occupational arena.
