Theater and Dance Productions

  • The Department of Theatre, Dance, and Performance presents several productions each year. This includes at least three plays, two dance performances, and a major musical (co-produced with the Department of Music).

    In addition, Ovations!, Indiana's premier touring performing arts series, offers additional theater, dance, and music events. View the Events Calendar for Lively Arts.

    Theater-by-the-Grove, Dance Theater, and Music Theater are funded, in part, by the IUP Student Cooperative Association.
