Theatre Program

The Cal State Fullerton (CSUF) Department of Theatre and Dance is situated in the heart of Southern California with close proximity to the film and television industries of Los Angeles and the performing arts communities and theme park industry of Orange County. As a department, we are committed to providing students with real-world training through hands-on curriculum. Our professional faculty and staff are dedicated to preparing students for all facets of the theatre industry and academia. Presenting theatre in front of a live audience is central to the educational mission of our program. Students participate in every aspect of our productions from design, performance, and stage management to production, direction, and dramaturgy. 
 
In the areas of performance, design, and technical production, high impact practices encourage life-long learning habits, collaborative skills, and team dynamics that ready students for future success. At CSUF, the stage is a classroom and our performances a testament to the hard work and skill of our students. Driven by a passion for the stage, we strive to create a student-centered educational environment that builds upon the artistic skills of students while preparing them to adapt, innovate, and respond to the ever-changing professional performing arts environment.
 
We look forward to you joining the CSUF Department of Theatre and Dance community.

California State University, Fullerton has been accredited by the National Association of Schools of Theatre since 1974.
