You’re hands-on, a visionary-in-the-making with ideas galore, an artist, an innovator, an originator, a performer.

“The teachers I have had here at VIU have pushed me to do the best I can, have taken interest in what is happening in my life, and have supported me in whatever I might try to do. It shows me that I am not just a number to them, but an actual person who they want to teach and help. All of the professors in the Theatre program are incredible and very supportive of their students and passionate for their art.”
