Fine Arts contribute to a lifetime of meaning, pleasure, and a deeper understanding of diverse perspectives. Marietta College's curricular offerings and co-curricular enrichment, such as concerts, cultural field trip, gallery exhibitions, professional talks, live performances, collaborative creative processes and student leadership opportunities impact students' crucial life skills like creativity, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and problem solving, fostering holistic personal and academic development. Coursework in the Fine Arts for all Marietta College students combines experiential learning with scholarship while highlighting the role of rigor and craft in the development of professional artists.
The results also enrich the cultural environment of our community and promote community collaboration. Many productions and performances include community members side-by-side-by-side with Marietta College students and faulty. Such a community effort is evident each year as the Oratorio Choir performs Handel's Messiah, a near-century-long Marietta tradition.
In this homage to the works of Charles M. Schulz we reimagine characters from the comic strip Peanuts as dysfunctional teenagers grappling with themes such as drugs, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion, sexual relations and identity all sparked by the death of “CB’s” dog.
Based on the beloved Charles Schulz comic strip, Charlie Brown and the entire Peanuts bunch explore life's great questions as they play baseball, struggle with homework, sing songs, swoon over their crushes, and celebrate the joy of friendship.
