Are you the next Harrison Ford or Bette Midler? Then let Siena Heights' Theater/Speech Communications program give you a head start on the bright lights of Hollywood or Broadway.

With an acclaimed faculty boasting a wealth of practical experience, the program has become one of the most renowned in the region. While courses such as Modern Dance, Shakespeare and Stage Management are good starting points, there's nothing in acting like first-hand experience.

Students have a chance to partipate in Theatre Siena productions in both the fall and winter, with the historic Croswell Opera House in town, there are other opportunities to take the stage.

The Francoeur Theater, which hosts the on-campus shows, is one of the finest facilities around.

Want a scholarship? The SHU Theatre Department at Siena Heights University will conduct Theater Audition Days. Participation could earn you a theater scholarship at one of the best Midwest college theater programs.
