We believe that students learn best by doing and provide extensive one-on-one and practical educational opportunities through comfortable class sizes and strong faculty mentorship. Students can build a portfolio of experiences based on their degree and individual interests. We support and encourage students with multiple interests inside and outside the program. We support and encourage students to study abroad.
We enrich the cultural life of campus, Laramie, and Wyoming by staging a wide range of high-quality performances, workshops, conferences, and events that showcase our students’, faculty’s, and guest artists’ talents and creative work. We bring the world of theatre and dance to Wyoming and Wyoming to the world.
We strive to engage with the broadest possible audience with planned seasons of ambitious theatre and dance. We believe in the positive contributions and impacts that the arts can play in society with the potential for personal and cultural transformation and for social change. The arts are a substantial part of the economy, and we train our students to be ready for the many possible paths their careers and lives may take them.
Students are the heart of our program, and we continue to elevate the spirit of the program for elevated student training and success.
