- To offer opportunities for actors, directors, designers and technicians.
- To encourage experiments and innovations with the integration of the lively arts of theatre.
- To strive for the highest standards of training and production that our talent and resources allow.
- To help our students to fulfill their vocational or avocational interests in the various arts and crafts of theatre.
University Productions
Pacific's Theatre Arts program combines classroom training with hands-on experience. We produce at least four productions each year in addition to student-produced shows. Productions include plays of varying historical periods and dramatic styles, including musicals.
- All students, staff and faculty of the university and members of the Stockton community may audition for departmental productions.
- Performances are given on the proscenium stage of the Long Theatre or the intimate black-box DeMarcus Brown Studio Theatre (in the Drama Building).
- Our facilities are located in close proximity on the south campus.
