MainStage Season

MainStage Productions

Each year, Rowan University’s Department of Theatre & Dance stages six MainStage productions, inviting students into a vibrant, collaborative environment. Auditions are open, inclusive, and rooted in the department’s mission to promote bold storytelling, community engagement, and artistic growth. Whether acting, dancing, designing, or working backstage, students gain hands-on experience while exploring contemporary performance in a space that values innovation, diversity, and ensemble-driven creativity.
