Theater and dance

Union provides students with accessible and distinctive theater opportunities, including campus productions of Waiting for Lefty, Peter Pan, and The Importance of Being Earnest. Many participate in Mountebanks, the nation’s oldest student-run theater group, founded in 1912. Students can also engage in one-term internships with professional theater or dance companies, collaborate on productions at the historic Proctors theater, or join winter mini-terms in London for performances and workshops or Bali for intensive performing arts studies.

Union is the ideal place for dancers of all levels to embrace their passion, whether through individual classes or a dance minor. In a collaborative, close-knit environment, professional faculty foster discipline, creativity, and experimentation. The multifaceted program includes technique classes in modern, ballet, jazz, hip hop, and more, helping students deepen their understanding of movement, alignment, and flexibility.
