Theatre

Tell compassionate stories of diverse human experiences from all around God’s world.

At Calvin, we challenge ourselves and our audience to engage people around us with empathy and compassion. The creativity you foster here, and the practical skills you gain, will empower you in any career you choose to pursue.

Here you'll find courses, productions, internships, and programs where you'll explore the human condition and develop skills vital to any career, whether it's on or off the stage. Our brand-new theatre minor lets you enhance any major with skills like acting, directing, production, and design—skills that will make you an effective leader and communicator in any workplace.
