Support Theatre, Speech and Dance

Your contribution to Theatre, Speech, and Dance will help our faculty provide the best possible learning experience for all our students. For example, in the past two years we have purchased a spiral staircase for a scenic design, upgraded projection equipment, sent students from our classes to see shows in Washington, D.C. and New York City, hosted a guest lecture by a playwright, sponsored a Batik workshop, and sent faculty and students to network with alumni in Washington, D.C. and New York City.
