In addition to rigorous course work, theatre and dance students have numerous opportunities to hone their craft by being involved in mainstage and dance productions.

Education at Wittenberg—Experience for the world

Theatre and dance invigorate every corner of Wittenberg’s campus, from contact improvisation exploding across the stage to experimental pieces in alternative spaces, from major Broadway musicals and ballet to student-written plays and hip-hop dance. Wittenberg’s diverse course offerings grant student artists and scholars robust classroom and laboratory environments.

Abundant opportunity guided by rigorous training

Practical opportunity is at the heart of Wittenberg’s program. Wittenberg Theatre and Dance students have the opportunity to perform, direct, choreograph, write, and design in both large-scale and studio theatre productions and dance concerts. Wittenberg Theatre and Dance also offers many work-study positions to grant experience in your field.
