About the program
The Waldorf Theatre Department takes pride in being a place that begins and ends with our students. From the moment a student enters the program, he or she has the opportunity to be on stage, work back stage and even design for one of the department’s many performances throughout the year. Students have the chance to become shop leaders, write, direct, design and/or perform in several student productions. They can even be a part of Alpha Psi Omega’s annual Haunted House. We encourage active involvement in every facet of theatre and are open to anyone who wants to participate.
Acceptance rate
For context, Waldorf University's overall acceptance rate is approximately 74%.
Faculty
Robert AuFrance, Ph.D.
