Performing Arts

actors Theater and performing arts at Keystone College can be enjoyed by all students from all majors. We offer theatre courses, including a theatre minor, and provide opportunities for hands-on experience, both on- and off-stage with our performing arts group, The Keystone Players, which presents two- to three theater productions annually.

Taking a theatre course and being part of a performing arts production are wonderful ways to meet new people and establish lasting friendships, explore your creativity, develop skills in communication and gain self-confidence, poise, self-discipline, and a tremendous sense of pride. In addition, exploring the work of exceptional playwrights opens the door to understanding both our shared humanity and its rich diversity.

Jane Honchell

Director of Theatre

“When I choose plays for a season, I am conscious of both the audience and the actors. Because our work takes place within an academic framework, I look for plays that will entertain and enlighten the audience and provide a challenging and enjoyable learning experience for the cast and crew. To reach these goals, I plan seasons that pair classic works, many of them Pulitzer Prize-winners, with contemporary comedies and dramas in a variety of styles.”
