The School of Arts and Humanities produces three to four main stage productions every season in the University Theatre. Plays are chosen from a wide variety of genres, including classics, modern American drama, musicals, and new works. Past seasons have included performances of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream including a premiere of new music by composer-in-residence Robert X. Rodríguez, Euripides' Bakkhai, Ibsen's Hedda Gabler, Chekov's The Seagull, the Fantasticks, Personals, The Foreigner, I Hate Hamlet, Fuddy Meers, John Guare's House of Blue Leaves and a new adaptation of Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange, and original performances and videos created by the Theatre Ensemble Production class.

Productions are directed by faculty of the School and guest directors from local area theatres. Auditions are held at the beginning of every long semester, and productions are primarily cast from students enrolled at the University. Additional lectures and presentations about productions are often scheduled to enhance the students' understanding of the works and the process of production.

In addition to main stage productions, students are encouraged to produce and direct in other performance spaces as part of Senior Honors Projects and Independent Studies. Past performances have included David Ives' All in the Timing, a student production of Hamlet and original works by graduate students. Students' productions range from fully staged performances to Reader's Theatre. Students who wish to produce should contact the Associate Dean for the Arts for more information. All student productions must have a faculty sponsor who oversees the work.
