Pursue Excellence !
Study theatre & dance in a liberal arts college.

The Muhlenberg College experience offers a direct learning partnership among faculty and students in the classroom, the laboratory and the performance studio.

Students at Muhlenberg are more than nurtured to succeed. They are encouraged to grow and to take risks. Muhlenberg offers the opportunity to foster the most important goal of the liberal arts education - the education of the whole person.

Theatre and Dance programs at Muhlenberg College are uniquely a cultural resource for the college, an entertainment center for the campus, and a community arts center that is recognized by thousands of Lehigh Valley audiences.

We have developed a unique approach to theatre and dance education that combines exciting creative experiences with rigorous professional standards. Our students are challenged as artists in the studio and classroom, working closely with faculty and nationally recognized guest artists to achieve both a conceptual understanding and practical working knowledge of the arts and the professions. We encourage each student to individualize his or her education to fulfill personal creative and intellectual goals.

Muhlenberg College is an established, private, liberal arts institution located for more than a century in Allentown, Pennsylvania, with the campus nestled in the residential west end of the city within walking distance of an expansive city park system. Allentown lies in the scenic Lehigh Valley in the heart of the culturally active Northeast corridor, 86 miles from New York City and 60 miles from Philadelphia. The college community of 2,100 students has access to the extensive cultural and recreational resources of the greater Lehigh Valley, including the presentation of professional dance, orchestra, and theatre events throughout the year.

The 2007 and 2008 editions of the Fiske Guide to Colleges rank Muhlenberg among the top 20 small college programs in the nation in both Theatre and Dance - one of only 8 schools in the country to appear on both lists.
