Why Study Theater at ISU?
- The Department of Theater has small class sizes for individual attention and one-on-one mentoring.
- We are an undergraduate-only program, which means more theater experience and no competition with graduate students.
- No waiting to get on stage until junior or senior year--ISU theater students can be cast from their first semester.
- Our production season features new and ambitious work, with special attention to student playwrights, designers, and directors.
- Productions at ISU regularly tour abroad; recent tours include Germany, China, Vietnam, and Ireland.
- Our professional summer company in residence, Crossroads Repertory Theatre, allows students to gain professional theater experience and get paid to do what they love before they graduate.
- ISU has brand-new facilities with state-of-the-art equipment. Spaces include proscenium and thrust theaters, performance labs, and design/technology labs.
