Theatre St. Thomas
Theatre has always been an important part of the St. Thomas University community. Its tradition goes back to Chatham, New Brunswick at St Thomas University's original home. This tradition continued in the Ted Daigle Auditorium in Edmund Casey Hall, and continues today in the Black Box Theatre, Sir James Dunn Hall. Theatre St. Thomas makes a vital cultural contribution to the school's liberal arts mission, as everyone is welcome to participate in a production.
Theatre St. Thomas has a strong following both on and off campus, and it is renowned for its quality and dynamic productions. Some students choose to make theatre a career and have gone on to train in the field after graduating from St. Thomas University. Most, however, do it for the love of theatre and the social and communal experience they share by being in a play. Many make life long friends, and all are enriched by their involvement.
