Introduction
The Department of Theatre and Dance faculty includes performers, designers, and directors with top academic credentials as well as professional experience. The department is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Theatre. The most important element in the Department's success is the students. Our undergraduates enjoy unusual opportunities to play leading roles, direct, and design for lab and mainstage productions. Organizations such as the Kennedy Center/American College Theatre Festival and the American College Dance Association have honored numerous Fresno State Students.
Working together, students and faculty have created many shows that have won regional, national, and international honors.
