Salisbury's theatre program is dedicated to excellence in theatre training, serving both as an academic theatre to our students and as a regional theatre on the Eastern Shore. This dual role of educator and cultural center gives the Salisbury theatre program its uniqueness.

Why Salisbury Theatre?

For those of us whose passion is Theatre, the only way to thrive is to work in Theatre.

Here at Salisbury you will have every opportunity to submerge yourself in what you love... to prove and improve yourself... to reach for your potential as an artist.

Because our classes are small and our number of majors is limited, your chances of being cast in a play or musical are increased greatly.

Your chances of working as a Stage Manager, Master Electrician, Sound Engineer, Master Carpenter and /or Costume Assistant will become a reality.

At Salisbury University Theatre, YOU will not be just another pretty face! YOU will not be just a number! YOU will be alive and living in the world of Theatre!
