Dramatic Productions
As both an academic and production program participants can find themselves in a theatrical environment in which they can feel safe and secure to investigate their creativity, imagination and exploring their talents for theatre. Under the supervision of DWU's Director of Theatre, Assistant Professor Daniel L. Miller, theatre participants will explore the numerous genres, styles and approaches to theatrical productions. Preparing themselves for graduate programs, employment opportunities or, at least, becoming a culturally savvy individual ready to take on the local community theatre.

Auditions for all public performances presented by the DWU Theatre department are open to all full-time and part-time students, as well as staff, faculty and the community of Mitchell, SD.

Forensic Participation
Participation in forensics activities is open to all full-time students. Previous high school participation is not a prerequisite, and students may be involved for academic credit. All participants are expected to be involved in intercollegiate forensics events and meet with the director of forensics for preparation.

Professional Semester
Internships are available in the communications/theatre program during a student’s junior or senior year. This working experience gives students career opportunities and academic credit. Sites chosen for internships are based on a student’s interests and consultation with the department head.
