Welcome to the
Doane Theatre Department
At Doane, we believe that great theatre programs must prepare and train students for careers in all contemporary and emerging entertainment forms -- including live theatre, film, television, video, themed entertainment, and more. Our students live in a world that is interactive, collaborative, and fueled by their passion for our art form -- one that encompasses the many forms of professional practice as well as the theoretical exploration of current and emerging entertainment forms.
Our faculty and staff are known for their artistic accomplishments, professional achievements, and their ability to serve as inspiring teachers and mentors. Our students are passionate about the theatre and its possibilities -- in both scholarship and performance; they are eager to experiment and take creative risks. As an example of that risk-taking, in January 2006, our innovative rendition of Phedre was honored as a selected production to present at the 2006 Region V ACTF in Fargo, North Dakota. Our production of Woyzeck recieved a nomination for best scene the next year. This year's homage to Buster Keaton, Reeling, was honored with our third nomination in three years for best selected production.
At this year’s Region V ACTF, Doane College was awarded three outstanding accolades: the honored Meritorious Achievement Awards for Comic Ensemble (cast of Reeling); Acting Ensemble (cast of The Arabian Nights); & Costume Design (Donna Himmelberger for The Arabian Nights.)
