Show Arts, Letters and Science — Theatre Arts Arts, Letters and Science — Theatre Arts Theatre Season—A season of plays is presented each year which includes offerings in both proscenium and flexible production. While preference is given to students, these productions frequently include members of the community as well. The season may include legitimate plays, musicals, dance programs, and reader's theatre. A summer theatre program has been established as part of Weber State summer school offerings. Productions ranging from Children's Theatre to classic works have been included in the program. Recently a Summer Festival has been established which utilizes talent from campus as well as from the community and surrounding areas.
