MHC Theatre Mars Hill College Theatre Theatre is a central part of student life at Mars Hill. The majority of students are involved in theatre as spectators, but those who would like to perform have many opportunities. The Theatre and Musical Theatre Departments stage four major student productions each year.
Auditions are open to all students.
Recent student productions have included Hamlet, The Merry Widow, and Twelfth Night. In addition, one-acts and other short plays are often presented by student directors. During the summer, MHC is host to the Southern Appalachian Repertory Theatre, a professional theatre company. Theatre and musical theatre majors are encouraged to take summer jobs with SART to gain professional experience. The College also frequently hosts plays by professional touring companies.
