Our Department of Theatre, Dance and Media Arts produces shows which both inspire and challenge the imagination. While handling classics from the likes of Shakespeare and others with ease, the department is also known for showcasing productions which deal with contemporary issues, like Angels in America, Parts I and II and Oklahoma City’s first production of The Laramie Project. The department is a participant in the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival from which they regularly bring
home armfuls of awards.
