About the Theater major

Union provides students with accessible and distinctive theater opportunities, including campus productions of Waiting for Lefty, Peter Pan and The Importance of Being Earnest. Many participate in Mountebanks, the nation's oldest student-run theater group, founded in 1912. Students can also engage in one-term internships with professional theater or dance companies, collaborate on productions at the historic Proctors Theatre, or join winter mini-terms in London for performances and workshops or in Bali for intensive performing arts studies.
