Theatre Arts @ MSUM

The Theatre Arts Program at MSUM is dedicated to two primary goals. The first to provide our students with high caliber training in theatre that prepares them to create theatre of any kind at any level. The second is to provide the Red River Valley area with a multifaceted, high quality theatrical experience. These goals interweave to provide entertainment and education to those on both sides of the curtain.
