Cal Poly Theatre and Dance Tickets

Cal Poly Theatre and Dance is the Department of Theatre & Dance within Cal Poly’s College of Liberal Arts. This program provides hands-on theatre training and rich production opportunities on campus, from main-stage shows to student-led performances. With quarterly main-stage productions and annual student-directed dance concerts, the department offers a practical, collaborative environment where students gain experience in design, performance, administration, and production management.

On-campus performances take place in the university’s Performing Arts Center venues, including Harold Miossi Hall and the Alex & Faye Spanos Theatre. The department supports two active student groups: Orchesis Dance Company (Cal Poly’s concert dance company, founded in 1969) and Students' Stage, a student-run theatre club. Social channels provide a living archive and community updates: Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, and Instagram for the department; Orchesis on Instagram @orchesisdancecp; Students' Stage on Instagram @studentsstagecp.
