Where the future of
art and artist align.

Several alumni of the schools of Design and Production (D&P) and Drama at UNCSA have been nominated for Helen Hayes Awards, Washington, D.C.'s equivalent of New York's Tony Awards for outstanding theater.

UNCSA has released a new two-part episode of its podcast, "The Arts & Everything," exploring what a "big break" really means for working artists and what it takes to sustain a long-term creative career. In "The Arts & The Big Break," host Brian Cole, chancellor of UNCSA, speaks with School of Drama alumni Anna Camp ("Pitch Perfect," "True Blood," "Mad Men") and Krys Marshall ("For All Mankind," "Paradise") about the preparation, persistence and personal conviction behind the moments that appear, from the outside, to be overnight success.

Winston-Salem native and UNCSA High School Dance and Preparatory Dance Program alumnus William "Will" Gyves, 18, has won at the Finals of the 2026 Prix de Lausanne, held this past weekend at the Beaulieu Theatre in Lausanne, Switzerland. The Prix is one of the most prestigious dance competitions in the world.
