The CCU Theatre Department, housed in the Edwards College, has made a number of notable accomplishments over the past 20 years. From the establishment of the BFA program in 2010 to the first senior showcase in New York in 2012, to the production of Metamorphoses in 2014, the Theatre Department continues to delight and inspire with its talented students, faculty, and staff.
CCU Department of Theatre Presents…
Legally Blonde: The Musical
In 2020, the Department of Theatre presented Lawrence O’Keefe and Neil Benjamin’s “Legally Blonde: The Musical.” Students taking part in this production were able to work with one of the original cast members, Jason Gillman, who helped the cast hone in on the characters they were tasked with portraying.
Putt-Putt
In January of 2020, the Department of Theatre hosted its first completely student-written play in the form of Putt-Putt. Students were given the opportunity and academic freedom to create a story that was completely their own, and the passion they had for the project shows in their performance.
Metamorphoses
In 2014, students and faculty accepted the challenge of performing Metamorphoses, which called for a “water stage.” This stage consisted of 13,000 gallons of water, and was built mostly by CCU students.
