The stage is the thing
MAIN STAGE - Our main performance space is the Harold G. Aleshire Theater in Hartnett Hall. This proscenium theater hosts our mainstage season, consisting of two productions each academic year. Our seasons include classical drama along with exciting and challenging contemporary works. There are ample opportunities for students from across campus to participate either on stage or behind the scenes.

BLACK BOX THEATER - Our Black Box Theater is the department’s second, infinitely flexible space. It serves as a classroom, meeting room, and performance space for student-produced projects and the occasional mainstage. The Black Box is open to any student who would like to produce their own work (pending faculty
approval).

MSU CAMPUS PLAYERS - The oldest student organization on campus, Campus Players is an integral part of the Minot State Theatre Department.
