The minor in Theatre is a multi-disciplinary program that
incorporates courses from a variety perspectives to ensure
a well-rounded and well-grounded graduate with an integrated
liberal arts education. Our Theatre tradition is as expansive and
multi-faceted as the history of Park University and is designed
to serve the academic and artistic needs of students as well as the
Parkville community.
Two main stage presentations are offered each year as well as
student-led projects in our experimental theater space. The Kansas
City area boasts over 100 active theatre companies, making it
one of the most active theatre cities in the country. Our guiding
philosophy is that the study of the dramatic arts serves students
who wish to develop a fully-rounded emotional, intellectual, and
creative experience in the pursuit of their education.
