Upcoming Performances
Our Vision
For over 30 years, the theater department at Concordia University Ann Arbor has held the reputation of positively impacting the community through the stage.
The University’s Kreft Black Box hosts the department’s annual fall play and spring musical. Each production is fully staged and given full technical support with scenery, lighting, costumes and sound. In addition, the theater department presents the annual Boar’s Head Festival held in December. This festival, initiated in 1978 by professors Paul Foelber, John Sturmfels and Quentin Mario, has become a treasured annual event both on campus and in the Ann Arbor community.
Involvement in theater at Concordia is encouraged for students of all disciplines, not just those pursuing a minor in theater. Opportunities for participation are available in performing, assistant directing, stage management, and crafting behind-the-scenes.
Prepare to take the stage and explore Concordia’s theater program.
Minor in Theater / Minor in Musical Theater
Designed for students wishing to pursue a career in film, television or professional theater. Theater minors will connect with an inner circle of theater artists whose goals are to support and spark each other’s creativity and development in mind, body, and spirit for service to Christ and to positively impact the world.
Scholarships
What could be better than getting scholarship money for being involved in something you love? Students can audition for up to $3,000 in scholarship renewed annually. This scholarship is not just for those on stage, but is also available to stage managers, set designers, or technical experts.
Work Study
