Festival Playhouse of Kalamazoo College

Festival Playhouse of Kalamazoo College Kalamazoo College's production company: Festival Playhouse, and FP's season productions.

Dedicated to the liberal arts tradition and innovations of Kalamazoo College, the department of Theatre Arts offers students access to the collaborative nature of drama through the integration of both creative and analytical courses, production laboratories, internships, and individualized projects. By studying the wealth of worldwide theatre traditions reflecting pluralism in our society, and the

interdependence of all peoples and cultures, students gain the research tools for self-discovery; informed, critical thinking; the ability to take action on their ideas and responsibilities; and the development of the kind of self-esteem and values that will lead them as artists toward enjoying a lifelong journey of personal growth and inquiry in a climate whereby each may learn to speak with his or her own voice.
