The Arts

Theatre

We offer a popular Introduction to Theatre course as well as courses in acting, directing, dance, design and technical theatre, multicultural theatre, and television criticism.  We produce three mainstage shows each year, several youth productions, and varying numbers of student-directed and student-written projects.  Anyone can audition for all shows or participate backstage.  Students can receive course credit for participation in these shows, as well as other production-based projects in the department.

If you would like to join us or have any questions about our department, please contact Dr. Joseph Fahey, Director of Theatre, at 419-755-4276, or fahey.9@osu.edu

Pearl Conard Art Gallery
Funded in the mid-1980s by a gift from the John and Pearl Conard Foundation, the Pearl Conard Art Gallery at The Ohio State University at Mansfield hosts an exciting series of exhibitions each year.  For more information, please visit u.osu.edu/pcagallery

Music

The Department of Music sponsors a University Chorus that performs both on and off campus.  Any member of the campus community is invited to join.  University Chorus can be taken repeatedly for credit, although it can also be taken by noncredit participants.  It is not necessary to major in music to become a member of University Chorus. Contact Dr. David Tovey at tovey.2@osu.edu for more information.
