Description: For almost half a century, CBU students, faculty, alumni, and members of the community have come together to stage unforgettable productions of classic works, groundbreaking modern plays, and brand new scripts. Over the past two decades, this theatrical energy has inspired our academic offering.

At CBU, we host a wide range of courses in the practical aspects of drama. Live and learn theatre through performance-based courses like acting and movement; take a deeper look into the mechanics of performances through behind-the-scenes work like stage management and playwriting.
