Key Facts

The arts express what it is to be human. Theatre is a way of being in the world, promotes understanding, generates useful tools for everyday life and has the unique ability to generate community from a group of strangers.

Theatre students are adept thinkers and doers who exercise their abilities in the unique and challenging realm of live performance.

The performing arts are collaborative practices that develop creativity, team building, leadership and personal responsibility.

According to this article in The Huffington Post and a recent IBM survey, global CEOs named creativity as the most important leadership competency for the future.
