KATE aylor University Theatre is a co-curricular educational programT supporting the liberal arts mission of the University by providing a broad range of theatre experiences that span music & lyrics by cole most theatrical periods, genres, and styles. Plays that probe the human condition and reveal human action with integrity, authenticity, and a sense of “grace,” provide us the opportunity to understand better what is true Porter about ourselves and others.
