Theatre emboldens creativity, awareness, and technical skills to implement artistic choices. With a focus on student opportunities, MSJ Theatre Arts offers dynamic and diverse productions of plays, musicals, readings, workshops, classes and more. Our process-based training creates a welcoming environment where all feel a sense of belonging as we work together or create artistic performances. Combining supportive training from professional artists and top-notch productions, Theatre Arts is open to all of the MSJ community.
Theatre leads students to appreciate and analyze theatrical events and practically apply skills in the creation of theatrical productions. Theatre also allows students to investigate the history, approaches, and skills utilized in the creation of theatrical literature and performance. Finally, theatre fosters a sense of empathy and respect for diverse perspectives and experience. Students develop essential soft skills in collaboration, critical thinking, creative problem solving, and effective communication. These skills will give students the ability to thrive in a variety of career fields including education, business, social sciences, health professions, and entertainment.
