Our department is just the right size to offer tons of opportunities and top-notch, rigorous training. It is large enough to tackle ambitious projects and yet small and flexible enough to tailor to your particular needs. Classes are intimate, with a small student to faculty ratio, allowing for significant individual attention. Each season’s productions are picked specifically for the current class of students. Colorado Mesa University is strategically located at the hub of a circle of important entertainment centers such as Aspen, Telluride, Moab, and Park City, Utah. There are regional theatres of international repute within driving distance, such as the Utah Shakespeare Festival, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and the Colorado Shakespeare Festival.
