DEGREES OFFERED

Bachelor of Arts in Theatre

Minor in Theatre

Minor in Performance Design


At the Colorado College Department of Theatre & Dance, performance can mean many things. From the outset, students learn fundamental practical skills, including acting, design, and movement technique in preparation for advanced seminars that combine theatre and dance. Along the way, both seasoned majors and first-time actors have plenty of chances to perform in productions. In the classroom, we introduce a diverse body of knowledge that incorporates classics of dramatic literature and dance history with exciting experiments by living luminaries, such as the off-Broadway theatre ensemble Elevator Repair Service or the Japanese dance duo, Eiko & Koma. In fact, we want to be able to learn with such internationally renowned artists— and not just about them— so we brought them here to teach in our recently constructed home for interdisciplinary performance, the Edith Kinney Gaylord Cornerstone Arts Center. We also offer regular opportunities for academic travel so that students can experience singular performances in off-campus destinations.

Notable Alumni Include:

Merritt Janson, Gareth Saxe , Molly Stewart, Marc Acito
