The Morehead State University Theater Department is a family within a family within a campus full of activities. All students get the opportunity to design and direct, and study the impact of theatre and drama throughout the world. Each year, MSU Theater produces a minimum of four mainstage productions, with at least one being a musical.
Students sometimes write and stage improvisation workshops.
The opportunities to act and learn technical theatre are endless here. MSU Theater attracts students who reap the cultural and entertainment benefits associated with live theatre. A vigorous, ambitious spirit can be found among faculty and students. Many students work in professional summer theatre and go on to careers in entertainment, teaching, business, and related fields. Through a special endowment from Mrs. Lucille Caudill Little, selected theater students are afforded opportunities for field trips to see professional theater in New York, and productions by such internationally renowned companies as the Stratford and Shaw Festivals.
