Pipe Dreams Studio Theatre

Pipe Dreams Studio Theatre

Pipe Dreams Studio Theatre is an exciting concept in undergraduate education.  In partnership with the Millikin Center for Entrepreneurship, the School of Theatre and Dance has created a laboratory environment where students can “play, experiment, and explore.” 

Through course work and practical application, students’ skills are put to the test in this student-run business venture.  From selecting a season to directing, designing, and performing, from marketing and audience development to managing financial responsibilities, students engage in all aspects of running a small theatre company. 

Under the leadership of student executives, Pipe Dreams Studio Theatre has produced a range of shows from one act plays, to small musicals, to world premiers.  As a result of their hard work, Pipe Dreams Studio Theatre is becoming known as an alternative to some of the more established performance venues in Decatur.  Students from all disciplines with a passion for theatre and/or business are welcome and encouraged to become part of this exciting experience.
