Two sisters and their giant mastiff live a cramped existence on the bleak English moors. Their lives are changed by the arrival of a new governess (for a non-existent child) and a curious moor-hen. This group of women, all in different stages of self-discovery, fight to be seen for who they really are in the confines of 19th century England. An imaginative riff on the Brontë sisters’ beloved romantic novels, The Moors asks us to consider the societal expectations of women and what happens when they attempt to shatter them.  

The theater program is a strong liberal arts training program designed to provide students with a foundation in the areas of performances, design and technology, and history and literature. In addition, students are required to choose an emphasis in performance, design and technology, or production management to study at an advanced level. Throughout a student's years in the program, there are ample opportunities to apply both academic knowledge and acquired skills to a variety of live production experiences. A senior project in a student's particular area of emphasis serves as a capstone to culminate four years of study. All of this theoretical and hands-on learning takes place in a personal, supportive, collegial environment. We pride ourselves on personal mentorship of each theater student. As a theater major or minor, you will find tremendous opportunities both on-and-off stage to fulfill your artistic goals and cultivate a lifelong connection to theater.
