Theatre is one of the most ancient and powerful forms of human expression; a compelling synthesis of speech, visual art, verse, music and movement. Producing a memorable theatrical performance requires the varied talents of many artists working toward a common goal.
Le Moyne College theatre arts students become capable of contributing to this experience through a grounding in the liberal arts, as well as specialized instruction in acting, design, technology and stage management. Performances for the campus and community audiences are staged in the W. Carroll Coyne Center for the Performing Arts, a state-of-the-art facility offering the latest in performance and production equipment and facilities.
The primary responsibility of the Le Moyne College Theatre program is to provide effective instruction to students in theatre arts within the liberal-arts environment and Jesuit tradition of Le Moyne. This instruction includes experiences to promote creativity, theatrical artistry, intellectual growth, and personal development. A further responsibility is to lead students in the production of vivid theatrical events for the Le Moyne and surrounding communities that engage audiences in the range, vitality, and contributions of the theatre to the issues of both society and the individual.
