Theatre

The Theatre program at Muskingum University provides students with a dynamic blend of theory and practice, offering hands-on opportunities onstage and behind the scenes. Through work as performers, technicians, designers, playwrights, and more, students engage in a comprehensive theatrical experience through classwork and co-curricular opportunities. The program features immediate opportunities in productions and classes, allowing students to hone their craft and build their confidence for opening night and beyond.

Muskingum Theatre fosters a supportive community where students are mentored by experienced faculty and collaborate with industry professionals. Program highlights include first-year student productions, a musical theatre minor, professional conference presentations through the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival, travel to the Stratford Shakespeare Festival over the summer, active student-run organizations, Living History internships at The John & Annie Glenn Museum, and connections with recent and past alumni who share their stories and advice. Graduates of the program excel in a wide range of careers, in creative, educational, and management fields, and often choose continued education through graduate work in their area of interest.
