We believe that true artists are well-rounded, ethical, curious, flexible thinkers and creators. This flexibility, curiosity and well-roundedness is best nurtured in a Liberal Arts environment which focuses on breadth and width and shuns narrowness. The best artistic work comes from collaboration, self-improvement, challenges, freedom, exploration, and inquisitiveness. Competition with others destroys artistic resources. Our graduates get work. That's not enough. We fully expect our graduates to make the theatre profession a better place for all participants (audience and artists) and to always give back to the community. We expect them to change the face of American theatre.

Notable Alumni Include:

Betsy Foster, Nicole Bowles, Jon Jordan, Justin Lewis, Sonshine Allen, Megan Youngblood, Bob Walker, Jasika Nicole Pruitt, Andrew Ross, Vanessa Randazzo, Ang Madaline, Heather Barr, Kathleen Adams, Carrie Ellis, Karina Ferry, Fred Inkly, Scott Holmes, Veronica Worts, Ashley Quinones, Daniel Hines, Amanda Lederer, Anthony Johnson
