As the only theatre in the Metroplex celebrating more than fifty years of production, we take great pride in our history as well as in our future. Our alumni can be found working on Broadway as performers and producers, in film and television as actors and art directors, on area stages as award winning performers and designers, and as dedicated educators all over the area. Our current students have opportunities to intern with local theatres and professional organizations, establishing working relationships before graduation.
