The Georgia College Department of Theatre and Dance not only prepares students for careers in both the professional and educational aspects of the field, but also gives students a personal and hands-on experience that is bar none. Students are challenged through courses and productions that emphasize imagination, passion, discipline and collaboration.
The department also has a strong focus on engaging the community with the arts. Each season we bring a variety of performances to the stage to evoke emotions, create laughter and provoke the deep thoughts of the audience.

Guest Artist Performance
Bill Doan made the world premier of his new work Frozen in the Toilet Paper Aisle of Life to the GC campus for two performances in January. The play is part solo performance, part graphic novel featuring over 100 drawings by Doan. The performance discussed and analyzed the nature of anxiety/depression and focused on the question of if a disease of the brain is a disease of the mind.
