Performance
Opportunities
There are many performance opportunities in our active production
season. These opportunities include theatre, physical theatre, dance,
and acting in films.
Our theatre program covers a variety of plays by the masters, contemporary
playwrights, and student originals.
Every third year part of a season is dedicated to staging original
plays featuring new works by American playwrights. Each writer takes
up residence at Humboldt during the production and works with the
performers, director and production staff.
Dance performances include faculty and student choreography, with
one mainstage production and two informal showings each year.
Physical theatre is featured through original work in different
seasons.
Musicals, in collaboration with the music department, provide an
array of opportunities for students every other year.
Film productions and screenings take place throughout the year
with a special focus on the Humboldt Film Festival.
