The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Welch College presents Stephen Schwartz and Alan Menken’s musical masterpiece about Victor Hugo’s lonely hunchback who learns what it is to be a monster or a man.
Showtimes are: April 18 at 7:30 pm, April 19 at 7:30 pm, and April 20 at 2:30 pm and 7:30pm.
All performances will take place in Welch College’s Celorio Hall.
The tickets are free, but seating is limited, so please make sure and reserve your tickets before seats are gone.
*This show is adapted from the Disney animated film (1996).

However, parents may watch the animated film for a point of reference. Click below for an educational packet to help prepare families for the show.

The Importance of Christian Arts
At Welch College, theater is more than just entertainment. We believe in telling powerful stories that highlight the human experience informed by a Christian worldview. These stories teach important lessons designed to share beauty with our community. Theater students at Welch College learn what it means to use their talents in a way that honors God through commitment, excellence, and integrity.
Theater Is for Everyone
Students from every major are welcome to audition for all plays, musicals, and touring productions, and all theater courses are open to any student interested in learning more about the dramatic arts.
Why Study Theater?
The obvious answer is to pursue a career in the theater and film industries. The less obvious answer is that students with theater degrees graduate college with essential skills for success in the greater workforce. Theater students can be found in careers ranging from security to marketing because theater students develop highly valued skill sets and abilities not limited to:
- Public Presenting
- Management
- Public Speaking
- Collaborating
- Improvisation Skills
- Strict Adherence to Deadlines
- Budgeting
- Listening Skills
- Observational Skills
- Leadership
- Teamwork
- Crisis Management
- Ability to See Different Perspectives
- Empathy
Bachelor’s Degree in Humanities and Arts
This program is offered as an interdisciplinary approach to education that encourages students to integrate Christian truth with a variety of humanities and arts disciplines. Students choose three areas of emphasis from the fields of English, History, Music, Psychology, and Theater.
By studying these emphases in tandem, students develop an appreciation for the interconnectedness of all human knowledge in relation to God’s truth. Such knowledge urges the student to greater intellectual and spiritual maturity.
