Bachelor of Arts in Theatre
The Theatre major introduces you to dramatic literature, acting, directing, design, and criticism. You will synthesize many art forms including creative writing, voice, movement, dance, painting, visual composition, sound, music, lighting, costume design, and set construction. Your professors will guide you through different theatrical styles, periods and conventions. You will visualize and recreate playwrights' attempts to capture universal themes, conflicts and human relationships across time, place and culture. This exercise in creative empathy and expression can help you understand yourself, others and the world community.
In addition to serving as a strong liberal arts foundation, the theatre program includes main-stage productions and dramatic activities that prepare you for graduate study, professional schools or a variety of careers.
