Discover Theatre and Dance Visit Day

Our on-campus Discover Theatre and Dance Visit Days are free and open to all current high school and transfer students.

Discover the vibrant, creative and inclusive community we have here at the School of Theatre and Dance! You’ll start with a tour of our Center for the Performing Arts, followed by program sessions and specialized classes that give you a hands-on experience. We’ll take a break for lunch, then dive back in with workshops and extended learning options. The day wraps up with a Q&A session where you can get your questions answered by our faculty and student ambassadors. Students that have registered should meet in the Roe Green Lobby at the Center for the Performing Arts (1325 Theatre Drive) a few minutes early.
