Division of Theatre

Mission Statement


The Division of Theatre at Missouri Southern State University is dedicated to fostering artistic excellence, creative exploration, and a deep understanding of the power of storytelling. Through rigorous training, innovative productions, and a commitment to inclusivity, we empower students to develop their unique artistic voices and engage with the world through theatre.

We strive to cultivate a collaborative and dynamic environment where students, faculty, and guest artists work together to produce thought-provoking and inspiring performances. Our program blends tradition with innovation, equipping students with the skills and knowledge needed for successful careers in theatre and beyond.

As a vital cultural hub, we are committed to serving our campus and community by producing meaningful theatre that reflects diverse perspectives, challenges assumptions, and sparks dialogue. Through our work, we celebrate the transformative power of the performing arts to entertain, educate, and inspire.
