The performing arts programs at Cedar Crest College reach far beyond developing the talents of gifted actors and dancers. We provide multiple perspectives and experiences for understanding dance and theatre as disciplines of study. As a liberal arts college, we emphasize how the performing arts connect with other academic fields of study. We also will provide you with a framework in which to explore your creativity and express yourself—both artistically and intellectually. Together, your experiences in the performing arts programs at Cedar Crest College will prepare you to be a strong, creative, confident leader. Graduates of our programs have gone on to professional careers in the performing arts, graduate studies, or rewarding roles in community performances, which they pursue alongside another career path.
