Theatre Department

“The purpose of art is to raise doubt – the purpose of entertainment is to reassure“   John Whiting.

Students in the Presbyterian College Department of Theatre create original theatre that challenges its audience to think about important issues in the world. We are committed to nurturing the artists, and not just the entertainers, of tomorrow.

In 2013, the theatre faculty at Presbyterian College were awarded the Association for Theatre in Higher Education/Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival Region #4 prize for innovative teaching, in recognition of our program’s focus on the creation of new work.

If you are interested in creating theatre that has something to say about the world with people who share your enthusiasm, then the PC Theatre Department is the place for you.
