Student Involvement

From the moment you set foot on campus you will find yourself immersed in activity. Our students learn by working in everything from the ticket office to onstage. And you won’t need to wait until you are a junior or senior to have an important role in one of our plays. With three major performances yearly—including a comedy, drama and musical—and smaller student-directed studio classics, there are ample chances for you to gain hands-on experience. We even offer a light-hearted Summer Dessert Theatre featuring the writing of Bethel College professor Dr. Earl Reimer. All of our productions are well attended and faithfully supported by both campus and community members.
