Join our group of dynamic student artists and educators who ignite creative, theatrical experiences for all.
“If you want to do it all in the theater, then you should do theater at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University ... it is an incredibly immersive, nurturing and well-rounded experience for the young artist.”
