The Department of Theatre sponsors an active co-curricular program and encourages students from across the university community to participate in productions. Each year, SRU Theatre presents a season of faculty and student-directed productions: a balance of Broadway hits, new plays, and classics of the world theatre. An additional lab theatre space allows students to direct and produce additional work as well.

Any student regardless of major is welcome to participate backstage during the departments mainstage productions. To audition for and be cast in any of the theatre departments mainstage or second stage productions students are required be be a major or minor. Auditions for productions are held throughout the academic year and are regularly announced on CORE. Students are encouraged to check CORE regularly or contact the Theatre Department for additional information.
