"The best thing about Catawba's Theatre Arts Department is the individual attention you receive and the amazing people that surround you. I cannot tell you how much I have grown from being in this program. Not only have I received a great education in my area of study, but in all aspects of the theatre."
"I have learned about lighting, design, paint, and I have also been able to perform on stage since my freshmen year. Theatre Arts at Catawba is all about making sure you can become as well-rounded as possible and fully prepared when you enter the "real world;" this is why I have decided to go to into teaching..."
"A few things that stood out to me were the strong liberal arts program, a nationally recognized Theatre Arts program, a small student body, and a beautiful campus. The faculty of the department shaped me into a well-rounded actor/technician, which is not something all theatre programs can promise."
"The department really does have a family feel, and the faculty pay attention to you as a growing individual. If you chose any of the Theatre Arts majors here, you will have to work very hard, but you will be rewarded with wonderful learning experiences in ALL areas of making theatre happen..."
"I chose Catawba because I wanted to go to a small school with a great reputation for excellence. I also like the personal relationships I made with students and teachers alike."
"I was impressed with the wide variety of opportunities that students get in the Theatre Arts Department. There are so many opportunities for leadership, as well as getting both performance and technical theatre experience which will help students further understand the art they are focusing on and get hired!"
"Catawba's Theatre Arts Department gave me a wealth of opportunities to grow both as an artist and as a technician. I designed costumes for multiple shows, some at local community theatres, in addition to a resume and portfolio brimming with a wide variety of produciton experiences."
2011 Catawba alumna Yolanda McClure has been seeing of lot of the world in her job with Disney Cruise Lines. She has worked on the Disney Magic, where she became a Youth Activities Entertainment Host. Her position has taken her to the Caribbean, Mediterranean and Atlantic oceans.
2011 Catawba alumna Katie Haeuser was cast as Beatrice in an off-Broadway production of "Much Ado about Nothing, " opening in January 2012 at the American Theater for Actors.
"The department is a family, and every person gets amazing opportunities to learn and grow in all aspects of the theatre. I was able to dabble in performance, design, and other technical aspects of the theatre. I've most definitely grew in my abilities and as a person."
