Productions
At Crowder, you can perform during your freshman and sophomore years without competing with juniors, seniors, and graduate students which you would find at a four-year college or university.
The theatre produces a variety of productions, with a children’s production each year and opportunities for a student-directed play.

Crowder’s Associate of Arts degree requirements are accepted by all Missouri colleges and universities.
