Announcing the inauguration of a new department at UCSC: The Department of Performance, Play & Design! This new department is formed from the fusion of two existing units: the Department of Theater Arts and the Art and Design: Games & Playable Media Program. These two programs have come together to better serve students who are seeking not only advanced training in traditional theater and game design but also those who are interested in the areas where these two disciplines intersect: the vibrant and dynamic worlds of multimedia and multiplatform performance, interactive installation, and interactive narrative design! Join us as we step into the future with a broad-based understanding of performance in both the live and the digital universes!

Notable Alumni Include:

Maya Rudolph, graduated in 1995 with B.A. in Art. Ashley Nicole Black, graduated in 2007 with a B.A. in Theater Arts
