The Department of Theatre and Dance continues to be a nationally recognized program which contributes to the artistic vitality of Muncie and Delaware County. We recruit not only talented students but also exemplary human beings who strive to make the world a better place through their artistic achievements and spirit of Beneficence. We rely heavily on generous donors and alumni who have lifted our students for more than 30 years.
Whether supporting our students through scholarship funds, helping our students audition across the country with travel assistance, allowing our recognitions to flourish through competitions such as the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival and the American College Dance Association, contributing to our mission of making Delaware County a better place for all its residents with programs such as the Prism Project which provides performance opportunities for exceptionally-abled children, or helping those students who face dire financial need based on their personal circumstances, our donors continue to make a huge difference in the lives of our students.
Make your gift today that will have a lasting impact on our students, our Department, and those who benefit from our endeavors.
