Description

Welcome to Calvary University’s Theatre Arts Department, where we strive to, “Make each day a story worth telling.” This Spring, we are producing William Shakespeare’s: As You Like It, a classic pastoral comedy full of romance and shenanigans.

Our production is set in the 1980s, a time of artistic exploration in popular media and unique, sometimes rebellious self-expression.  Amidst the romance of Rosalind and Orlando, the play focuses on the contrast between the Duchess’s Court and its “World of Confinement” which is full of scarcity, failure, competition, and sabotage, with the Forest of Arden’s “World of Liberation” which is full of generosity, human connection, the divine, and unfettered imagination.  And, since art is a natural product of imagination, The Forest of Arden will be filled with poetry, street performances, songs, and dances done in classic 80s styles.  And that's in addition to the boxing, graffiti, attempted fratricide, and the QUADRUPLE wedding!

Come join us in the World of Liberation! (You might just find yourself!)

The Calvary Theatre Arts program revolves around telling stories in ways that will engage the culture with a fresh and vibrant perspective!  Our mission is to equip students by building academic, performance-related, technical, and spiritual foundations to enable you to direct theatrical productions and oversee technical and administrative components wherever God might bring you – in front of a congregation in a ministry setting or in front of a professional film crew! By the time you leave Calvary, you’ll be able to teach others how to tell a great story and you’ll have developed into a skilled and disciplined actor who respects their art and their craft. You’ll be ready to further your career through graduate school training or professional acting. You’ll come away knowing that to be called to tell the best of all stories is one of the most compelling of all callings.
