Notre Dame Theater is a student-driven extracurricular club and theater program designed to give those students interested in theater the opportunity to produce and perform for the public. This student-driven program is made up of highly dedicated student actors and a crew who build the sets and run the tech. The mission of ND Theater is to create a family atmosphere that educates students not only on the technical aspects of theater, but also on what it means to be Notre Dame men and women in their actions onstage and off. Whether you are interested in basking in the spotlight, running the spotlight, or want to stay backstage and hide from the spotlight, there is a spot for everyone in ND Theater.
