Off-Campus Theater
Nearby, Dartmouth College’s Hopkins Center for the Arts and Northern Stage present world-class performances available to students on a weekly basis. Annual theater trips to New York City also increase student exposure to professional theater. -
Playwright in Residence
Every few years we write and produce an original play with professional writers-in-residence. In 2016 we created The Incident with Barbara Pitts McAdams from the Tectonic Theatre Project. -
KUA on Tour
Every two to three years during spring break, we take our winter musical on an international tour to locations including England, India, and New Zealand. -
Technical Theater
Behind-the-scenes elements help make productions come alive. In technical theater, our primary objective is to expose students to the tools, tactics, and procedures used in professional theaters. Students are empowered to construct sets from scratch, hang, wire, and operate lighting and sound, and ultimately run live shows using the latest technology. Whether learning the basics or dedicating one’s future to technical theater, we offer experience for all levels.
