About
The University of Redlands Department of Theatre & Dance emphasizes theatre's uniquely collaborative nature and invites each of our students to participate in something larger than themselves.
The strengths of our department lie in our size and our focus on student achievement. Our professors are experienced professionals, teachers, scholars, and artists. We offer our students a wide range of pathways to develop skills in all aspects of the performing arts.
Housed within The School of Performing Arts in the College of Arts and Sciences, the department provides a strong academic major integrating performance and the creative process at all levels.
Located between the cultural centers of Los Angeles and Palm Springs, theatre students have access to world-class productions and companies. Theatre Arts students are introduced to a provocative range of human experiences, passions, and ideas. Whether reading a play in class, performing a role on stage, or working behind the scenes, students share ideas and grapple with larger questions—how we as a society express ourselves, how we communicate our needs, and how we reconcile our differences..
The department also offers opportunities for international travel and semesters abroad. Productions have been presented at the International Festival Fringe in Edinburgh, Scotland. Students may also elect to take a semester abroad at institutions like The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.
