Harvey (Mary Chase)

The Fantasticks

The House of Atreus (Aeschylus)

Taming of the Shrew (Shakespeare )

Love by the Bolt (George Feydeau)

You're a Good Man Charlie Brown

A Piece of My Heart (Shirley Lauro)

School for Scandal (Sheridan)

 

Our mission is to create theatre artists of the highest caliber who are well educated in all areas of theatre arts and drama so that they may excel as learners and leaders in the global arena of the professional arts. Our graduates will also serve the world through teaching, professional work and a lifelong commitment to the arts.

 

Eureka has great places to play - like our Pritchard Theatre, which is a highly flexible performance venue, adaptable for proscenium, thrust, arena, and environmnetal stagings. Other performance spaces include Becker auditorium, McCallister Hall in the chapel, and the Rinker Outdoor Amphitheater.

 

There's more - Eureka's Little Red Devils Improv Troupe and our Director's Studio provide wonderful additional opportunities for those interested in theatre. We've also co-hosted the Kennedy Center/American College Theatre Festival three years in a row!

 

The Annual Central Illinois Stage Combat Workshop - hosted in conjunction with the Society of American Fight Directors - is a must for serious actors. Learn more>
