Student Theatre Organization

Mission

The Student Theater Organization was created to give students interested in theatre a time and place to create. We perform many roles through which we are able to construct a theatre arts educational experience for students of all ages and majors. STO serves as a liaison between faculty and students. The organization also organizes fundraisers and activities to help cover the cost of travel to the annual Northwest Drama Conference.

One of our department’s standing philosophies is that "you can do great theater on any budget," and it is because of this STO is able to serve as our student theater production company so well. We produce student written, experimental plays open to the participation of anyone. As theatre students, we realize that our educational experience is not solely related to what our university is able to give us. We, as a student body, are able to come together as cast and crew and recognize the importance of supporting each other’s hopes, dreams, and artistic endeavors in all shapes and forms.
