Saint Michael's Playhouse, the College's professional equity summer theater, draws talent from Broadway, Off-Broadway and regional theaters performing full scale New York caliber theater to more than 15,000 audience members each season. The playhouse is a member of the Council of Resident Stock Theaters (CORST). As a CORST theater company, Saint Michael's Playhouse employs members of Actors' Equity Association, as well as directors from the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society and designers from United Scenic Artists.
The playhouse also maintains a Professional Theater Internship Program for college theater students. Acceptance into this program is competitive. Successful candidates work side by side with the professionals in areas of theater production and administration.
The College was also a sponsor of the Vermont Mozart Festival, formerly the state's largest classical music festival.

Famous quotes containing the words art and/or culture:
“Despite the hundreds of attempts, police terror and the concentration camps have proved to be more or less impossible subjects for the artist; since what happened to them was beyond the imagination, it was therefore also beyond art and all those human values on which art is traditionally based.”
—A. Alvarez (b. 1929)
“It is not part of a true culture to tame tigers, any more than it is to make sheep ferocious.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
