Theatre & Dance

The Department of Theatre and Dance seeks funding to support our students through a variety of funds that allows our students to learn, design, perform, manage, educate, and create in the classroom, on our stages, and beyond. As a top priority for this year, we introduce the newly created fund, Theatre and Dance Alumni Society Fund, which provides scholarships to students most in need and at risk of delaying or leaving Ball State Theatre and Dance.

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.
