The Hollins theatre department is a creative community, and we embrace this identity in the classroom, the rehearsal hall, the scene shop, and on stage. We engage in the development of theatre artists, thinkers, and leaders looking to change the future of American theatre. Hollins theatre students actively help to shape departmental vision, policies, and programming, and are encouraged to create student-generated work that expresses their personal creative vision.

Our Philosophy:

The Hollins Theatre Department is looking to develop holistic theatre makers who approach the creation of theatre from an interdisciplinary and collaborative perspective. We want to tell stories that reflect the intersectional identities of our students and support the development of original student work. We are a work in progress, but if you are looking for a program that is genuinely interested in creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive theatrical community, please come play with us!

Facilities:

Our charming 550-seat proscenium theatre is remarkably intimate with an automated rigging system and industry-standard light and audio equipment.

We also have a 99-seat black box theatre that serves as an acting studio and workshop space, as well as fully-functioning scenery and costume shops.
