Arts: Performing and Visual Please note: Many art classes meet half-time each semester. Exceptions will be noted in course descriptions below.
Performing Arts Robb Barnard, US Department Coordinator The Performing Arts Department offers courses in music and theater. Our curriculum encourages students to both learn to communicate together through performance and to develop their own creative voices. Our courses also focus on the theory and history of music and performance traditions. We believe that actively studying the arts enriches the lives of our students in and out of the classroom as well as enhances their learning in other disciplines. Each year the department produces a number of theater performances and concerts. Recent theater offerings have included Urinetown, RENT, Men on Boats, She Kills Monsters, Little Shop of Horrors, Into The Woods, and A Midsummer Night's Dream, as well as our annual student-produced 10-Minute Play Festival. Music performances include the annual Harvest, Winter, and Spring Concerts.
