ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT The Indiana State University Department of Theater provides practical experience and training that equips undergraduate students with a broadbased or a discipline-focused theater education in an inclusive and supportive environment. We produce theater students who are explorers and catalysts of change. We build a broad and solid foundation in the artistic, intellectual and hands-on aspects of theater.
