Comments from our students:

For me it's a chance to talk to experienced drama teachers and get ideas for plays to produce. These things, along with the day to day mechanics I'm picking up, are things I can use in developing my program and that will help my students.
David - California

I am looking forward to summer session with you all this year. You have no idea how much I have learned and how many doors have opened because of your program.
Tomi - Belgium

I took Design Methodologies this summer and came away with different ways to think about design ideas that were inspirational. Exploring Drama in the Classroom gave excellent ideas for taking many types of literature and making it come alive through movement and vocal work.
Carla, California

 

 

Feed The Artist In You At CWU

Whether you are a student, full-time theatre teacher, a teacher who loves theatre, or a professional working in the various areas of theatre the Summer Institute for Theatre Arts has something to offer you. Established in 1996 by the Theatre Arts Department of Central Washington University as the Drama Teacher's Summer Institute, the program was specifically designed for teachers. Since then, more than 500 teachers, representing more than 20 states and eight nations, have attended the Institute, learning new skills to take back to the classroom, making life-long friends and networking with other theatre artists and educators from across the nation and the world.

The Department of Theatre Arts is proud to expand the services and courses designed to benefit theatre professionals on all levels who are seeking professional development through enrichment courses, as well as high school students (grades 10-12) and currently enrolled college students seeking advanced summer training in the area of Musical Theatre.

Classes are presented in comprehensive seminars ranging from three to 18 days, annually from late June through July.

  • Enrichment.

  • Musical Theatre Conservatory.
    Musical theatre intensive workshops will be offered to students at the high school (grades 10 -12) or college level, who have at least one year of acting and musical theatre experience. Audition required.
