You’ll become a well-versed individual, equipped with critical thinking skills, a lifelong love of learning, and an appreciation for God’s creation.
Setting the Final Scene

Performance Spaces
The Butz-Carruth Recital Hall and Mitchell Theater host musical theatre and opera productions. This is also where you’ll audition for various roles and practice what is taught in the classroom.

“Taylor helped me realize that my faith and my art are not mutually exclusive. God calls me to tell possibly difficult or uncomfortable stories with integrity because they give us perspective, provide space for dialogue, and shine a light into darkness.”
