Nigel Forde in his book Theatercraft says, "It is the imagination that shows us the truth of what is going on around us. It is imagination that makes art not a copy of life, not a snapshot, but an appraisal, a vision, sometimes a prophecy."(p. 110)

Theatre at Calvin College seeks to capture the imaginations of both audiences and actors, and all those who are willing to open their hearts and minds to the lives of fictive characters on the stage. A community of young Christian artists striving to know and reveal the joy of the creative process is the heart of Calvin's theatre program. Theatre is a human relationship revealed, displayed and sometimes miraculously born before our very own eyes. Theatre is enacted image that enables us to "know" ourselves and learn more about others. Through the gifts of countless students and theatre staff members, Calvin Theatre Company and the Department of Communication Arts and Sciences strive to bring you superb theatrical productions that will tickle your fancy, make you think, and touch your heart.
