California State University Long Beach

About California State University Long Beach

The Theatre Arts Department at CSULB educates, nurtures, and inspires students to successfully embark as integrated, thoughtful, and culturally aware artists into the local and global professional arenas.

Since 1954, the Theatre Arts Department has offered an atmosphere where students are encouraged to explore theatre arts and related fields; and it is also a place where community members can gather to enjoy the art of theatre. The Theatre Arts Department is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Theatre (NAST). The department is also a member in good standing with the Theatre Communications Group, the United States Institute of Theatre Technology, the University/Resident Theatre Association, and the International Theatre Institute of the United States.

Currently, the Department operates five different producing entities, in addition to offering a wide variety of innovative undergraduate and graduate courses, workshops and guest artist lectures:

• California Repertory Company is the professionally modeled graduate student theatre company founded in 1989.
• University Players is the undergraduate theatre company founded in 1954.
• Theatre Threshold, operating for more than twenty years, is the undergraduate student-run production company. This company produces new performances each week of the semester, which are presented as part of our showcase class.
