Minnesota State University Moorhead has proposed ending the Theatre Arts Program
The Theatre Arts program in MSUM’s School of Performing Arts has been an important part of the Fargo-Moorhead community and local art scene for nearly 60 years. In April 2020, Minnesota State University Moorhead announced that it will be discontinuing the Theatre Arts Program, as well as 9 other majors, and eliminating more than 66 faculty and staff positions over the next 3 years, in an attempt to cover a portion of the projected budget deficit for coming years. Theatre faculty and staff are working hard to fight the administration's proposal to close the program, and a group has been formed by alumni and supporters to aid efforts.
