"Skidmore's staff of theater professionals consistently challenges its kids to greater, more adventurous highs.  Over the years, they continue to top themselves with thrilling productions...they don't have to kowtow to any common denominator."

  -The Times Union, Best of the Capital Region

IN RECENT YEARS, SKIDMORE COLLEGE HAS ALWAYS BEEN RATED WITHIN THE TOP COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES IN THE COUNTRY FOR GREAT COLLEGE THEATER

    -The Princeton College Review

    The Theatre Department is a pre-professional program which offers students the opportunity to pursue the serious study of the theater arts within a liberal arts setting. Courses within the department afford training in the basic demands of the discipline — physical and vocal control, technique in acting and directing, technical and design skills — as well as the opportunity for advanced study, practical production experience, study abroad, and off-campus internships. The college liberal arts requirements help the student to understand the moral, intellectual, and political context in which any artist practices.

GUEST PRODUCTION - February 2, 2008 8:00pm The Skidmore College Department of Theater and Office of Special Programs Present SALLY by Sandra Seaton With Mizan Nunes as Sally Hemings Directed by Robert Graham Small Sally Hemings, a slave who served as Thomas Jefferson’s mistress, accompanied him on his diplomatic assignment to Paris, and (according to recent DNA evidence) bore him at least one child. In order to bring this enigmatic and fascinating figure back to life, Sandra Seaton created a fictitious diary for Hemings. In Sally, an aged Sally Hemings recalls her life with Jefferson, reliving and re-evaluating the dilemmas she faced and the choices she made. Admission Free CLICK HERE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
