Our Mission
In the Department of Theatre Arts & Dance at Sonoma State University, we develop artists and educators who, as vital human beings devoted to a process of discovery, seek their ultimate expression in performance.
The Department of Theatre Arts & Dance offers valuable and rewarding opportunities for serious, motivated students to develop their imaginations, intellects, knowledge base, craft and artistry in a stimulating and congenial environment at a campus located in a beautiful and culturally rich area. We aim to develop artists and educators who are vitally engaged with each other and the world through the performing arts.
