The Performing Arts Club is dedicated to providing performing arts opportunities for Hawkeye students, alumni, faculty/staff, and members of the Cedar Valley community. Whether it be through theatrical performances, music, spoken word poetry, film/video, dance, standup comedy, a live reading of a short story, etc. we want to give you an outlet to show off your work.
