	Giving To Dordt

Theater is a vibrant, demanding, exciting part of life at Dordt. This discipline serves artists and audiences communally, enriching our view of who we are, who we have been, and who we might become. We celebrate all of God’s gifts as we discover and cultivate the talents and callings he has given us. Theater opens us to the human experience in a way no other art form can.

Dordt’s theatre arts department offers an approach to the work that is both biblically grounded and thoroughly familiar with current trends in drama. Our faculty consists of committed Christians and active professionals with many years of experience. Talented guest artists invited to Dordt also share their skills, directly benefitting your theatrical education.

Our faculty and staff serve the community through our association with the Sioux Center Recreation and Arts Council, offering matinee performances to local schools. We also work to integrate our performances with the academic life of the college. Our commitment to community service complements our commitment to excellence.

As a theater student at Dordt, you will quickly become an integral part of the stage production process, developing strong ties with faculty and students, and being mentored as you learn the fundamentals of theater. You will be part of a collaborative team that prays and works together to create exciting performance art. You will learn to care for the art form as a gift from God that engages its community, critically examines our culture, affirms our humanity, and clarifies our beliefs.

Because auditions are open to all the student body, you will have the opportunity to work closely with people whose backgrounds and interests may differ from your own. Our students consistently appreciate this aspect of our approach; in the intensity of the work a new community is forged with each production, making relationships that may last a lifetime.
