Creative & Performing Arts

At SUNY Adirondack, we value each individual's story and encourage everyone to be proud of their story, to rewrite the parts they don't like and to learn from their journey. With Creative Writing, Broadcast Media Production, Fine Arts and Media Arts majors and an English concentration, SUNY Adirondack offers multiple ways for our students to share stories. An on-campus Center for Reading and Writing (CRW) ensures students have opportunity to improve their writing and editing skills. Each year, students, alumni, faculty and staff contribute works to Expressions, an annual literary magazine showcasing the SUNY Adirondack community's immense talent.  SUNY Adirondack also hosts an annual Writers Project series, which brings to the college a variety of literary voices to discuss their works.

Expressions magazine

The college is known for its professional-level productions of bold and innovative plays. Past productions have included D.W. Gregory’s “Radium Girls,” a true story of the women factory workers who fell ill from exposure to radioactive paint, and Moises Kaufman’s “The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later,” a drama tracking the hate crime murder of openly gay student Matthew Shepard. Most recently, SUNY Adirondack's theater class joined forces with Wood Theater in downtown Glens Falls for a successful comedic production of "Five Women Wearing the Same Dress."
