DEPARTMENT OF THEATRE ________ .. _._._._._.~~~~s:s~io=n~S~t:a:te:nt::e::~ The Department ofTheatre's mission is to educate its students in the art, craft, and discipline of theatre, and is based on the belief that both production and classroom study are necessary components of a theatre education. The department emphasizes the education of theatre artists and educators within a broad liberal arts framework. Theatre students study both content (dramatic literature, theory and criticism, and theatre history) and process (acting, directing, playwrighting, designing, and production). With excellence being the minimum standard for success in the field, IPFW's program in theatre recognizes the value of an accomplished professional faculty and rigorous and intensive courses of study. The general education requirements of the department broaden intellectual awareness by encouraging students to expand the range of their understanding of artistic activity and to investigate fundamental culture, social, ethical, and political issues of contemporary society. All aspects of production, from play selecting to closing night, serve as a laboratory for theatre education. As a major portion of the academic program, the department seeks to produce plays that are provocative, entertaining and theatrical, broad in ideas, and complex in vision. We believe that a broad variety of productions of great works from the past and the works of contemporary playwrights are vital to the education of our students and the enlightenment of our communities. The department's activities are primarily student-oriented and universitybased, but the department encourages "participation from you that reflects both the larger university community and the community of northeastern Indiana. All activities, including auditions, are open to all enrolled IPFW students and community members, and the department is firmly committed to a nontraditional casting policy. In all of its activities, the Department of Theatre's mission is to seek an original expression of human experience through a full realization of the theatrical process and product.

Our mission is four-fold: to offer the academic degree programs most in demand by area citizens; to provide the northeastern Indiana region with exceptionally high-quality theatrical performances by students, faculty, and community members; to offer to the community various theatrical services, such as student matinees and theatre training through the Community Arts Academy; to provide a continuum of outreach activities to the greater northeastern Indiana community. Our vision is to be widely recognized as the major theatre resource center for the Greater Fort Wayne and northeastern Indiana communities. To meet this challenge, we need your help! IPFW is a state-assisted - not state-supported- university. Furthermore, we are allocated only about one-half of the state dollars that the main campuses receive per student. This in turn directly impacts the theatre department with severe budgetary constraints. Your dollars are essential to help us move forward with our commitments to northeastern Indiana. Should you be interested in helping to financially support us in our mission, please contact Larry L Life, chair and artistic director of the Department of Theatre, at 260-481-6551. Your contribution will enable us in our mission to keep our academic programs current, continue diversity in theatre programming, and maintain our commitment to northeastern Indiana through our service and outreach activities.

Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Supported in Part by The Kennedy Center Corporate Fund The U.S. Department of Education Delta Airlines The National Committee for the Performing Arts Dr. and Mrs. Gerald McNichols This production is entered in the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (KCACTF). The aims of this national theater education program are to identify and promote quality in college-level theater production. To this end, each production entered is eligible for a response by a regional KCACTF representative, and selected students and faculty are invited to participate in KCACTF programs involving scholarships, internships, grants and awards for actors, playwrights, designers, stage managers and critics at both the regional and national levels. Productions entered on the Participating level are eligible for inclusion at the KCACTF regional festival and can also be considered for invitation to the KCACTF national festival at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC in the spring of 2006. Last year more than 1 ,300 productions were entered in the KCACTF involving more than 200,000 students nationwide. By entering this production, our theater department is sharing in the KCACTF goals to recognize, reward, and celebrate the exemplary work produced in college and university theaters across the nation. DEPARTMENT OF THEATRE ________ .. _._._._._.~~~~s:s~io=n~S~t:a:te:nt::e::~ The Department ofTheatre's mission is to educate its students in the art, craft, and discipline of theatre, and is based on the belief that both production and classroom study are necessary components of a theatre education. The department emphasizes the education of theatre artists and educators within a broad liberal arts framework. Theatre students study both content (dramatic literature, theory and criticism, and theatre history) and process (acting, directing, playwrighting, designing, and production). With excellence being the minimum standard for success in the field, IPFW's program in theatre recognizes the value of an accomplished professional faculty and rigorous and intensive courses of study. The general education requirements of the department broaden intellectual awareness by encouraging students to expand the range of their understanding of artistic activity and to investigate fundamental culture, social, ethical, and political issues of contemporary society. All aspects of production, from play selecting to closing night, serve as a laboratory for theatre education. As a major portion of the academic program, the department seeks to produce plays that are provocative, entertaining and theatrical, broad in ideas, and complex in vision. We believe that a broad variety of productions of great works from the past and the works of contemporary playwrights are vital to the education of our students and the enlightenment of our communities. The department's activities are primarily student-oriented and universitybased, but the department encourages "participation from you that reflects both the larger university community and the community of northeastern Indiana. All activities, including auditions, are open to all enrolled IPFW students and community members, and the department is firmly committed to a nontraditional casting policy. In all of its activities, the Department of Theatre's mission is to seek an original expression of human experience through a full realization of the theatrical process and product.

Our mission is four-fold: to offer the academic degree programs most in demand by area citizens; to provide the northeastern Indiana region with exceptionally high-quality theatrical performances by students, faculty, and community members; to offer to the community various theatrical services, such as student matinees and theatre training through the Community Arts Academy; to provide a continuum of outreach activities to the greater northeastern Indiana community. Our vision is to be widely recognized as the major theatre resource center for the Greater Fort Wayne and northeastern Indiana communities. To meet this challenge, we need your help! IPFW is a state-assisted - not state-supported- university. Furthermore, we are allocated only about one-half of the state dollars that the main campuses receive per student. This in turn directly impacts the theatre department with severe budgetary constraints. Your dollars are essential to help us move forward with our commitments to northeastern Indiana. Should you be interested in helping to financially support us in our mission, please contact Larry L Life, chair and artistic director of the Department of Theatre, at 260-481-6551. Your contribution will enable us in our mission to keep our academic programs current, continue diversity in theatre programming, and maintain our commitment to northeastern Indiana through our service and outreach activities.
