The Department of Theatre and Dance Virtual Festival is a modern response to the current climate. The COVID Pandemic has changed our daily lives considerably, but it cannot stop the arts. We are pleased and proud to present a collaborative effort between the Department of Theatre and Dance, the Cali School of Music, the School of Communication and Media, and Arts and Cultural Programming at the College of the Arts.
