The Utica College theatre department presents a major production each year. All full-time students are eligible to participate in theatre activities, for which academic credit may be received. These activities include acting, costuming, make-up, set construction, painting, and lighting. The Theatre Ensemble is a student organization in which all participants have the opportunity to develop individual or group projects in areas such as producing, directing, and acting. The Playwriting Contest is sponsored each year by the theatre department.
All students are eligible to submit a short, unpublished script.
Winning entries receive cash awards and are produced in the spring semester. Computer Laboratories Utica College maintains seven academic computer laboratories on campus. These labs contain either IBM-compatible or Apple Macintosh computers. The labs are equipped with laser printers, and the computers have word processing, spreadsheet, and database programs. Student assistants and a Computer Help Desk provide any assistance that students need.
