Renowned as one of the best programs in the country, Butler Theatre strives to push the boundaries of our art as we create innovative productions and instill in our graduates an entrepreneurial spirit that will help them to succeed in an ever-changing market. With a strong liberal arts foundation, we foster the development of well-rounded, critical-thinking artists who can plot their own successful path in theatre and in life.

We encourage Butler Theatre students to develop their individual voices through rigorous study and collaborative practice. We prepare students to push the boundaries of theatre and integrate their theatre training into purposeful lives.
