Students involved in theater at Lafayette cross boundaries that teach them about the stage but even more about themselves.
Dedicated theater faculty and adventurous students are at the center of collaboration across disciplines that guarantees the very best liberal arts education anywhere—on stage or off.
Each year, plays are selected to acquaint student performers and technicians with various theatrical genres and styles, and help them develop an aesthetic of performance that is grounded in both theory and practice.
