On April 1, 2021, Â鶹ֱ²¥ of Akron Faculty Senate voted to support the Buchtel College of Arts and Sciences’ recommendation to suspend Â鶹ֱ²¥’s Theatre Program. Low enrollment coupled with diminishing finances led to this action. This decision is pending approval of both the Â鶹ֱ²¥ Board of Trustees and the Ohio Department of Higher Education.
Theatre historically has played a prominent role in the fabric of both the School of Dance, Theatre, and Arts Administration and the University as a whole. A decision to potentially reinstate the program will be made at a future date.
All current theatre majors and minors will be able to complete their degrees, however, no new theatre majors or minors will be admitted into the program.
Theatre retains a talented pool of dedicated part-time faculty who will continue to present both mainstage and smaller productions each fall and spring semester.
