A group of nine people dressed in colorful, bohemian-style clothing is performing on stage. Two people in the center are facing each other, with one extending their hands towards the other. The rest of the group watches them, standing closely together.

Theater

If you want to do it all in the theater, then you should do theater at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University ... it is an incredibly immersive, nurturing and well-rounded experience for the young artist.

Why Study Theater at CSB & SJU?

This season we are pleased to be welcoming back students, friends, family, and community members to our stages. From (they say…) a devised piece that explores the many dimensions of gender fluidity and the non-binary experience to Smash by Jeffrey Hatcher where Sidney Trefusis, a millionaire socialist infiltrates a women’s college in order to plant the seeds of socialism in the brains of the future consorts of cabinet ministers and kings.

The 2024-2025 season is sure to delight!
