Actors' Equity Artist-in-Residence Program

Each academic year, the Department of Theatre and Dance appoints at least two members of the Actors’ Equity Association, a union of professional actors and stage managers in the United States, as Artists-in-Residence. In addition to teaching basic acting courses, the Equity Artists-in-Residence play roles in mainstage productions and may teach courses in their area of specialty, such as acting for film, stage combat or period styles. The close interaction between students and professionals creates a dynamic exchange of knowledge and experience between master teacher and aspiring artist.
