Theatre at Davidson
The Theatre Department at Davidson College is committed to creative and critical inquiry that reflects on, illuminates, and celebrates the diversity of the human experience.
Through collaboration, interdisciplinarity, community building, and an embrace of innovative artistic and teaching practices, we prepare students to be empathetic artist-scholar-citizens who use their skills to engage with the most pressing concerns of our world. We welcome students from across the campus to participate in our classes, productions and programming.

The high quality of our performances and related public programs distinguishes Davidson in the community. Our faculty and student directors present theatre that matters–productions that have lasting effects on their audiences, casts, and crews well beyond performance nights.
Over the last decade, our productions have won several theatre awards from the Metrolina Theatre Association and Creative Loafing magazine.
