The Neumann University Players, formerly known as the Theater Ensemble, is a company of students, faculty, staff, and alumni that was founded in 1984.
They are more than a theater group; they are a collaborative, and creative campus resource that brings students, faculty, staff, and alumni together in shared artistic work. Producing multiple fully-staged productions each year – from Shakespeare and musicals to contemporary drama – the program creates hands-on credit opportunities for students to grow. They grow, not only as performers, but as leaders, designers, technicians, marketers, and production managers.
This immersive model blends academic learning with real-world practice, strengthening teamwork, communication, confidence, and problem-solving skills that apply far beyond the stage.
The NU Players enrich campus culture, build community for Knights of all ages, and keep the arts a visible and vibrant part of the Neumann experience.
