We strive to develop theatre artists and scholars who have an understanding of all the areas of the theatre from onstage to backstage, from drama and history to technology and artistry.

Ripon College offers a major and minor in theatre with education
accreditation also available. We strive to develop theatre artists and
scholars who have an understanding of all the areas of the theatre
from onstage to backstage, from drama and history to technology
and artistry. While our students are able to specialize in their areas
of interest in the theatre, they also understand the process of theatre
and learn how to collaborate with other artists in the theatre.
The Department of Theatre is invested in nurturing artists
and teachers for the theatre, but we are open to the whole
student community. Auditions and crew calls are open to
the entire College, and we expect and plan on students with
majors other than theatre to take part in our productions.
