Hear From Our Alumni!
Xavier Theatre is trust and commitment. It is to have faith and never settle for good enough. It is to be ok with the unexpected, and to understand the value in every single member of your team. And it is to always believe in the power of connection and community.

Xavier Theatre is for lifelong learners. More specifically, it is for the artist that understands that there are always ways to improve their craft. There is never an arrival but the everpresent opportunity to dig deeper and expand wider. The holistic nature of the degree allows one to experience collaboration from the numerous disciplines of theatre. Students live the concept that one "should not wait to be a professional to 'act' professional" from day one, and in turn, comprehend that anyone they may encounter during their four years is a colleague and connection to their futures.

Xavier Theatre has provided me with a strong community full of kindness, support, and endless opportunities from day one. As a student, you are encouraged to try everything and to be all that you can be and I am confident this is where I am meant to be.
