Bachelor of Arts - Theatre - Acting

Theatre is performed everywhere – on Broadway in New York City, in shows that travel around the country, in professional regional theaters in large cities, in community theaters in small towns, in school or even in the streets. People who have trained in theatre may also have the opportunity to work in movies and on television. There are additional professional jobs beyond being an actor; usually a theatre or movie production consists of a few actors and many backstage production personnel. A theatre major provides the background for all such jobs.

Under the hands-on mentoring and rigorous demands of the professional acting faculty students will be challenged to become citizens of the world and courageous theatre artists. Opportunities to hone their crafts on the stage are numerous, and ISU prides itself on providing training to prepare students for a life in the theatre or wherever life leads.
