Director: David Gene Grapes II, M.F.A.
UNC's Theatre Arts program combines classroom instruction with first-hand experiences in theatre, musical theatre, and dance. General objectives of the University of Northern Colorado School of Theatre Arts and Dance are based on service and leadership in the arts at local, state, regional and national levels. An integral unit within the University, the School embraces the role and mission of the University and has designed its goals and objectives to support and enhance institutional purposes and directions.
The academic program provides technical support, scenes, costumes, stage direction, choreography, promotion, and general management for UNC's popular Performing Arts Series.
During the summer, the College of Performing and Visual Arts presents the Little Theatre of the Rockies (LTR) and other events. LTR, established in 1934, serves as the production entity for Theatre and Musical Theatre. The LTR Summer company members are involved in acting and technical aspects of professional theatre, working under the excitement of a rigorous production schedule. As participants, they encounter a wide variety of opportunities to observe, learn from and share ideas with an experienced faculty, professional actors, singers, and technicians.
