Why study Theatre?

skills. Three productions a year are staged in the University
Theatre, ranging from classical to modern plays.
Scholarship Opportunity
Each year the Theatre Program offers a number of Angel
Scholarships, in the amount of $1,000, to help offset the cost of
tuition. Graduating high school seniors and prospective EWU
theatre majors are eligible for the scholarship. Applications can
