Theatre and drama are part of the department of Film, Television and Theatre. In addition to support for undergraduate study and teaching the library strives towards providing resources that encourage and facilitate research in all areas of theatre and drama. Two library endowments support building collections that include material in a variety of formats. The Alice Wolohan Hohmann Endowed Collection in the Arts is restricted to the acquisition of library materials on video or DVD, whereas the the R. Steven and Elizabeth A. Lutterbach Family Endowment in Film, Television and Theatre covers the range of formats and content.
