Each year the department hosts an annual festival of short plays that are written, directed, and performed by YVC students and, in some cases, members of the community. Drama faculty regularly offer unique opportunities for qualified students, such as the ability to assistant design or direct and also stage our main stage productions. Finally, all YVC students in good academic standing who participate in Drama productions are eligible to receive Talent Grants.
