What our students have to say:
In this video, State Dance Company member LilyGrace Wolfe talks about the many opportunities she has found being a part of the NC State Dance Program.
“University Theatre has been instrumental in my time at State. It has been a community that has connected me to so many people across so many programs, taught me so many skills, and provided so many opportunities to learn and grow. UT has been as important to me as my major and NC State wouldn’t feel like a home without it.”
