Our Philosophy: Our department is committed to developing passionate, creative thinkers while training and encouraging students to meet the imaginative and scholarly challenges of the 21st century. SANDS Theatre endeavors to provide each student with the diverse experiences and relevant opportunities required to develop a life-long appreciation and love for the theatre.

In our department, our students are not only taught how to be actors or technicians; we teach them to have goals outside of and beyond the classroom as well as how to achieve those goals. It is our goal to teach our students to succeed academically, to be global-thinkers and for them to use their talents outside of the four-walls of their classrooms. We will accomplish this through a balanced study of theatre history, stage technology and design fundamentals, dramatic literature and performance skills. 



"In the production of a good play with a good cast and a knowing director there is formed a fraternity whose members share a mutual sense of destiny"  --Arthur Miller
