Hone Your Skills

Whether in the classroom or in student performances on campus, at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, or in other venues across D.C., you will hone your skills, pursue your passion, and use the beauty you create to serve your community and the world.

An Artistic Community

We think that theatre is a fundamental cultural necessity that enriches and is enriched by its community. Learn practical skills and a comprehensive understanding of theatre in our unique and dynamic community. 

Tradition Meets Contemporary

We celebrate the rich history of art and the transformative power of digital innovation. We cultivate a deep understanding of artistic traditions and their influence on contemporary practices. 

I love engaging with the art and culture around D.C., from the Smithsonian museum to performances all over the greater D.C. Metro Area.
