The Theatre Area is designed to offer courses that will enhance the liberal arts education and provide opportunities for training and creative expression through the art form known as theatre. The Benedict College Performing Arts Company maintains a 265-seat proscenium stage that provides live theatrical experiences for the artistic, cultural, and educational enrichment of the College and community.

The goals of the Theatre Area are to:

1. develop an understanding of and an appreciation for theatre as an art form;
2. stimulate intellectual understanding and discourse regarding the human conditionals reflected in historic and contemporary theatrical endeavors; and
3. provide instructional and performance experiences to enhance creative self-expression; and
4. develop an awareness of theatre as a powerful tool for social change.
