Drama has always been part of the church. Some of our most sacred rituals are themselves re-enactments (and embodiments) of portions of Christ's life and ministry. . . communion, baptism, the laying on of hands, to name a few. At Wesley, we seek to reintegrate drama as a holy and intentional part of the life of the church. From biblical improvisation to liturgical drama, playwriting, and production of full-length plays, students at Wesley have the opportunity to explore the holiness of drama and its manifold uses in ministry.

A series of course offerings enables students to equip themselves with the basic theatrical tools for ministry; to develop their individual talents as actors, directors, and stage managers; and to explore interests in playwriting by developing original monologues, scenes, and short plays for use in ministerial settings.
