Live performance is at the heart of what we do.
Our students take the stage in bold, exciting productions that showcase their growth as performers, choreographers, directors, and designers. Every production is a chance to create, connect, and shine, from mainstage plays and dance concerts to student-led works and interdisciplinary collaborations.
