Performing Arts - Albright College
Performing Arts
The performing arts at Albright College embody a long-standing tradition of creativity, collaboration, and excellence. Albright’s artists engage in a wide range of expressive disciplines that enrich both campus and community life.
The
Domino Players
, the college’s resident theatre company, have produced nearly a century of distinguished performances that span the literary canon of western theatre, earning
national recognition
for their artistic achievement.
Lion Records
, Albright’s student-run record label, provides invaluable hands-on experience in recording, producing, and promoting original work, while vocal ensembles like
Albright Chorale
showcase Albright’s rich musical talent through concerts and recitals. Albright's
dance and step teams
bring energy and expression to campus events and performances. Together, housed within the
Center for the Arts (CFA)
these programs form the foundation of Albright’s vibrant performing arts community.

As a singer and producer, I wanted to sharpen my technical skills, but I also needed to learn things like how to book paid work, how to foster and maintain professional relationships, and how to refine creative process. Since graduating Albright I’ve made a full-time career out of my art. I continue to develop artistically and professionally because of the amazing foundation I built."
