Theatre

It's "showtime" in the Kent State University School of Theater and Dance as the halls and studios are alive with activity as students get into the routine of Fall Semester. 

Students working in the Kent State University Costume Shop showed off their designs at a theatre trade conference in Seattle this spring. 

Cemetery Calling, the newest play by Kent State alumni and staffer Eric Mansfield premiered in Cleveland earlier this year. Another of Mansfield's plays, Trial by Fire, will be performed on campus in Fall 2024. 

An associate professor working on the School of Theatre and Dance provided a behind-the-scenes look at the school's current production of "Rent."

Kent State's production of "Rent" runs from Feb. 16-25 at the E. Turner Stump Theatre.

Anything your heart desires will come to you, especially if you put in the work. Just ask Sarah Heavner of Kent State University at Trumbull.

Ms. Heavner, who is majoring in communication studies and minoring in theatre, recently earned an internship with Walt Disney World for this coming fall. While there, she will dress and play the role of a costumed character on one of the largest stages in the world, Disney World.
