About the program
The Department of Theater and Dance provides Carleton students with opportunities to study. perform and work in practical theater. In the faculty-directed Players shows, students produce large-scale productions on the stage of the Weitz Center for Creativity Theater from genres pre-selected by a student committee. The department faculty works with officers on the student-elected Players board to coordinate this production every trimester. Many students also work outside of the officially organized productions with the Experimental Theater Board, Student Musical Theater, and other CSA-sponsored organizations, resulting in an often overwhelming number of theater opportunities every term.
