The mission of the division of theatre and dance is to provide a strong undergraduate education in the theory and practice of theatre and dance, to support the University's general education curriculum, and to enhance the cultural life of the campus community. The division's goal is to develop students' working knowledge and application of historical and contemporary theories and practices in performance, design and technology, and dramatic and critical literature. We strive to develop artists who are imaginative critical thinkers and effective communicators producing art that celebrates humanity and challenges complacency.
Bloomsburg Players is an organization dedicated to promoting interest in the dramatic arts and gives its members the opportunity to gain experience through participation in any or all aspects of theatre. Membership is open to all students. Membership requirements include: payment of dues, working on at least one major fundraiser, and participation in at least one production area per semester. Membership in Players is an excellent way to meet people and to enjoy various theatre-related activities.
BU Players is also the producing arm of the theatre program. It receives a subsidy from the Community Government Association for the purpose of presenting plays. The production budget is managed by the faculty Director of Theatre and the student Production Manager.
