Calvary University Theatre Arts

Calvary Theatre Arts is a theatre department located in south Kansas City on the campus of Calvary University.

Why Calvary Theatre Arts? Simple. Because at Calvary, we not only want to teach students how to tell a great story dramatically, we want to involve them in telling a great story with their lives!

A great story has a character at its center who wants something so badly, he overcomes great obstacles to get it. Sound familiar? Sound like the Story of Jesus through the ages? Sound like your story?

The Calvary Theatre Arts program revolves around telling stories in ways that will engage the culture with a fresh and vibrant perspective! Our mission is to equip students by building academic, performance-related, technical, and spiritual foundations to enable them to direct theatrical productions and oversee technical and administrative components wherever God might bring them -- in front of a congregation in a ministry setting or in front of a professional film crew! By the time students leave Calvary, they'll be able to teach others how to tell a great story an will have developed into skilled and disciplined actors who respect their art and their craft. And they'll take a theatre of hope with them.
