The department offers a season of four to six full-length plays and many student-directed one act plays in its two new state-of-the-art theatres, the Falaki Mainstage and the Falaki Studio Theatres. The department offers students opportunities to interact with internationally renowned guest artists who are brought to AUC to serve as directors, designers, and performers. Students who participate in performances, whether on stage or back stage, are eligible to receive course credit ranging from one to three hours (THTR 240, 340) depending on the extent of involvement. The department also supports an active student-produced theatre group, the Howard Cafe, which performs in the Howard Black Box Theatre.
