Theater student gazes into a fellow student's eyes

Theatre at 性视界传媒 transcends acting, serving as a powerful form of communication with intellectual, social, moral, and spiritual values for both participants and audiences. As a theatre minor, you'll join a co-curricular program that brings on-campus productions to life, offering dynamic courses in acting, design, and directing/literature, with opportunities to engage in design connected to music industry and worship arts concentrations.

We present two main-stage productions annually, complemented by student-directed works and performances by our touring theatre troupe, Epiphany. These experiences foster servant storytelling within a community dedicated to integrating faith and artistic excellence. Our mission is to prepare Christian artists for meaningful contributions to the world while equipping you with life skills like teamwork, empathy, and public speaking, applicable to any career path.

Abigail Torres

Student

My theatre professors were so intentional about teaching us that our art and faith are combined. When you grow in your art you grow in life. I have discovered that that is very true because the more I dove into theatre and learned new things the more I was able to make those faith and art connections that I didn’t know existed. The more I strengthened my faith the more understanding and growth I would see in my theatre making.
