About
The University Players

The Joseph M. McDade Center for the Literary & Performing Arts at The University of Scranton is the home of The University of Scranton Players. Since our inception, we have made a lasting contribution to the cultural landscape of the campus and Northeastern Pennsylvania. In collaboration with The University of Scranton Theatre Program, the Players draw from a wide range of personnel to produce their annual production season. All university students are welcome to participate:  theatre majors and minors as well as students from a variety of disciplines regularly staff the productions both on and off stage. Additionally, theatre professionals are regularly infused into the mix as guest artists, serving as directors, designers and performers, to enhance the educational opportunities within the program.

Theatre Program 

The major in Theatre offers a broad-based liberal arts degree for the theatre generalist. The Theatre major prepares the student for further, more focused training in the theatrical arts through a wide variety of courses in performance arts, technical theatre, design arts, directing, theatre history, playwriting, and dramatic literature. Students may focus their programs of study to some degree toward specific interests in these areas of theatre through the use of electives within the major.
