When I graduated from St. Mary's as a theater major, I realized I had received not just a degree, but a true education. The department not only gave me a foundation in the theory and practice of my craft, but most importantly an opportunity to ignite as an artist and to develop a style and interest in challenging theatrical material, which led me on fascinating journeys after I left the school.

Featured Event
ANNOUNCING OUR 2010-2011 THEATER AND ARTS SEASONAs we prepare for a productive summer and time away from campus, TFMS would like to announce its 2010-2011 theater and arts season. The main stage season kicks off in the Bruce Davis Theater in October with Noel Coward's comedy, Hay Fever, directed by Michael Ellis-Tolaydo. Eugene Ionesco's short absurdist "anti-play," The Bald Soprano, directed by Mark A. Rhoda, hits the boards for a five-show run in December, while Suzan Zeder's Mother Hicks, a theater for youth piece directed by Holly A. Blumner, closes our main stage season in March-April. In February, the Fourth Annual TFMS Film Series on alternative animation screens in Cole Cinema, and our lunchtime "Dance on Camera" film series, moderated by guest artist Sharon Wyrrick, offers up brown-bag film screenings throughout the semester in Montgomery Hall, room 111. Check back periodically for further information about our 2010-2011 theater and arts season as it becomes available.
