Each year °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ produces a play that employs both professional actors and a professional stage manager to work alongside University students. The Repertory Project brings members of the Actors Equity Association, the professional union of stage actors and stage managers, to work within a unique professional training environment. This joint project creates unparalleled opportunities for students within °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥'s Performing Arts Department.
Creating professional opportunities for undergraduates
In every area of production, student designers and technicians are being mentored by guest artists and °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ faculty, all of whom are theatre professionals with credits including New York, regional and touring theatre as well as television and film.
°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ students are able to include professional Actors Equity Association productions on their resumes even before graduating from °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥Â — a distinction which puts the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ Performing Arts Department in league with some of the country's elite theatre programs.Â
