Theatre at Concordia

Students at Concordia College engage Theatre Art through intellectual rigor, personal dedication and creative excellence.  Theatre acts as a catalyst for a liberal arts education because elements of the theatrical event occur in every avocation and vocation in society.  Many students plan for a career in Theatre, while others undertake Theatre studies to help them prepare for careers in business, the ministry, education and community involvement.  Other students get involved because they enjoy participating in productions.  Concordia’s Theatre classes and co-curricular productions enhance the college experience and provide excellent educational opportunities.

Theatre at Concordia is first and foremost an educational experience. Almost everything associated with theatre production is conducive to the development of “life skills.”  In classes and productions, students are immersed in the process of understanding and interpreting the play, and in communicating its messages accurately and effectively to the audience.  Concordia’s Theatre students learn resource management, creative problem solving, effective interpersonal communication, performance techniques and design skills.

            Students involved in theatre at Concordia often make close friends, develop their talents and abilities, and increase their understanding of the world as they explore the many aspects of each production.  Participants learn how to be flexible, innovative and creative through the growth that theatre study provides.
