Corban Theatre Arts provides a platform for students to use their talents to serve God in creative productions that display truths about the human condition, the world we live in, and the power of redemption. We do this through a variety of genres, including comedies, tragedies, dramas, and musicals.

Corban Theatre produces two shows each year, and auditions are open to students in any major! In addition to participating as an actor, you’ll also have opportunities to assist with costuming, makeup, stage managing, and more. Whether you want to be under the lights or behind the scenes, there are opportunities for you to express your creativity through theatre arts.

When you participate in theatre at Corban, you’ll…

• Activate your creativity and imagination.
• Embody a variety of characters that challenge your assumptions and help you explore empathy in a new way.
• Cultivate meaningful relationships.
• Develop skills like collaboration and interdependence as you work with a close-knit team.
• Learn more about God’s character as you participate in what Tolkien calls “subcreation.”

Auditions are open to all Corban students.

New, incoming freshmen and transfers can apply for a renewable theatre participation scholarship. These scholarships are for both actors and off-stage roles (costuming, set, etc.).
