Theater

Overview

The Theater program offered at Bryn Mawr College provides opportunities to participate in performance and technical aspects of theater, as do Greasepaint Productions and other student-run groups. Goodhart Hall houses McPherson Auditorium and the Hepburn Teaching Theater, the main performance spaces; other facilities at Bryn Mawr and Haverford are available for smaller theatrical productions.

Bryn Mawr College was proud to re-open Goodhart Hall in the Fall of 2009 after an ambitious $19 million dollar renovation project was completed. The newly updated facilities now are used for many functions including the Bryn Mawr College Performing Arts Series, performances by many student dance and theater clubs, music concerts and social events, as well as providing a home to the Theater Program's main-stage production each semester.

Arts at Bryn College

Appreciating, learning about, and creating art are vital to Bryn Mawr's campus culture. In this lively, diverse community, the arts build bridges to the wider world, stimulating intellectual and social growth. 

The vitality of the arts on campus is evident in the way student artists cooperate to supervise studio space and sponsor workshops for the campus community or to rehearse with fellow students to present a capella concerts. Performance opportunities for students range from informal open-mike nights and student-organized ensembles to senior projects enriched by the superb facilities and technical expertise of the Bryn Mawr and Haverford arts programs, where Bryn Mawr and Haverford arts professors encourage their students to integrate their creative and intellectual lives.
