Backstage

Work. Create. Learn. 

Backstage in the Kaleidoscope, we do it all.

In the Theater & Dance Department, we work alongside professional directors, choreographers, and designers from Philadelphia, New York City, etc. The students at Ursinus work alongside them as much as learn from them. Without you, the shows simply wouldn’t happen. Opportunities abound; students have a hand in everything:
