Kingsmen Shakespeare Festival
Established in 1997, the Kingsmen Shakespeare Company puts on two outdoor stagings of the Bard's plays each summer.
As Cal Lutheran's professional theater company, it also runs a wide variety of educational programs for K-12 and college students.
Theatre & Dance Department Productions
Students participate in several major productions each year, including musicals, original films, dance, improvisational theatre, and the Blackbox series.
