On the third floor of the facility, you will find University Theatre. Our program offers intensive courses for students wanting professional careers in theatre arts. We have a world-class professional and academic faculty with decades of experience in professional theatre/film/television acting, theatre directing, and theatre design. Our beautiful theatre, the Givens Performing Arts Center was ranked among the 25 most amazing performing arts centers in the nation. Our Showcase Studio Theatre is a wonderfully intimate “black box” space, designed specifically for students to create their own projects. We are very excited by our new initiative called “SHOWCASE.” We have created a space where students can act, direct, and design their own shows with their own budgets, funded and mentored by the Theatre Arts Program.
