Admissions
Theatre Program
Whether you're an experienced performer or just curious about the stage, MVNU Theatre offers an exciting opportunity to grow in creativity, confidence, and community. Students from all majors are welcome to audition for our productions, help with set design, lighting, costumes, and stage crew, or join the Theatre Club for fun events and workshops throughout the year. We produce multiple main stage shows annually, with auditions for the fall production(s) held at the beginning of the semester, and auditions for the spring production taking place before Christmas break. Even if you’re not ready to jump in, we’d love to see you in the audience—our shows are a great way to support your fellow students and experience the arts on campus. No matter how you get involved, there’s a place for you in MVNU Theatre.
Scholarship opportunities are available every year for Theatre Club leadership. After participating in the cast or crew of at least one MVNU Theatre production, you are eligible to apply for these leadership positions.

“MVNU Theatre is a place where I found friendships as we worked toward a common goal. I also found more of myself through the ways I was challenged as an actor and through the leadership opportunities I was provided. I am blessed that MVNU gave me the opportunity to learn, grow, and create in these ways.”
