Bachelor of Arts - Theatre Arts

The Theatre Arts program prepares artists and leaders for a diverse and challenging job market and, through an integrated curriculum, trains practitioners in the field to impact the development and welfare of their community through viable arts experiences.

The department puts on three public performances a year, and in addition to starring in the shows, students help with sets, costume design, and front-of-house management. This participation gives them a well-rounded college experience that prepares them for professional theatre work.

Five areas of theatre arts are the focus of this major: artistic direction; performance; arts management; technical theatre; and cultural, critical and historical perspectives.

This array of choices means students can foster whatever artistic interest they have, from on stage to off stage to above the stage. The courses will range from basic acting to costume design to private voice to directing, and through it all students will be surrounded by fellow artists, both students and professors.
