Each year Ã山ǿ¼é produces a play or musical that employs both professional actors and a professional stage manager to work alongside university students. The Repertory Project brings members of the Actors Equity Association, the professional union of stage actors and stage managers, to work within a unique professional training environment. This joint project creates unparalleled opportunities for students within Ã山ǿ¼é's Performing Arts Department.
Creating professional opportunities for undergraduates
In every area of production, student designers and technicians are being mentored by guest artists and Ã山ǿ¼é faculty, all of whom are theatre professionals with credits including New York, regional and touring theatre as well as television and film.
Ã山ǿ¼é students are able to include professional Actors Equity Association productions on their resumes even before graduating from Ã山ǿ¼é — a distinction which puts the Ã山ǿ¼é Performing Arts Department in league with some of the country's elite theatre programs.Â
