Department of Theatre Arts Mission Statement
The Department of Theatre Arts supports the missions of Utah State University and the Caine College of the Arts by cultivating artistic and academic excellence, by contributing to the cultural enrichment of the university and surrounding communities through live theatre production, and by fostering respect for the arts through advocacy and professionalism.
We assist undergraduate and graduate theatre students in acquiring and developing the tools they need in order to succeed in their future pursuits by:
- Giving them a foundation based on a broad theoretical and working knowledge of the theatre
- Providing advanced training in their chosen area of concentration
- Offering performance and production activities that provide students with practical experience in their chosen field while challenging them to engage in a complex and diverse world.
Talented, well-trained students who are committed to the art of theatre and its potential to heighten intellectual, cultural, and humane sensibilities are essential to the fulfillment of our mission.
