Welcome to East Carolina University's School of Theatre and Dance

The School of Theatre and Dance is one of the premier schools of its kind in the southeast, offering comprehensive and flexible programs.

In the School of Theatre and Dance, you can be a part of an intentionally small, high-quality student body of about 125 declared (and 225 intended) students. This group works and plays (and almost lives) in the Messick Theatre Arts Center, a facility dedicated entirely to the study of theatre and dance. The region relies on the School to satisfy its appetite for top quality productions.

Located in Greenville, North Carolina, ECU is a leader in theatre and dance education throughout the Southeast. With Alumni such as Kevin Williamson (Writer/ Scream, Dawson’s Creek), Beth Grant (The Rookie), Sandra Bullock (Speed, Ms. Congeniality), Manley Pope (Rent: Broadway), and Emily Procter (CSI: Miami); people are quickly understanding why East Carolina is the perfect choice for furthering an education in theatre and dance.  Please click the links to the left and below to better acquaint yourself with our department and East Carolina University.  If you cannot find the information that you need click on the contact us link at the top of the page to find the appropriate area of interest.
