We believe
that an education in theatre should be broadly based but allow students to be focused in their studies, too. To that end, the Morningside experience requires majors to participate in all aspects of theatre even as they develop unique strengths in a core area. Our faculty and staff epitomize this philosophy, for in addition to their areas of specialization, each is an experienced actor, director, and designer, and all have worked in professional Equity theatres. |

We believe
that an education in theatre is characterized by creative engagement. That's why the Morningside experience encourages all students to participate in theatre, regardless of their major or class standing. Whether a freshman or a senior, a business major or an English major, everyone is welcome. |

We believe
that an education in theatre prepares students for life-long learning. Because of their Morningside experience, theatre graduates are working in film and television production, management, and education. They are pursuing graduate work in directing, acting, and design. Our alumni have started their own theatres, worked on Broadway, and toured productions all over the U.S. All have one thing in common--they are passionate about learning!
