About

Undergraduate study in theatre prepares students for graduate work in theatre or in related fields of study. It also prepares students for theatre-related careers on and off stage. Students may elect to focus on a specific area of interest by selecting a group of courses beyond the core requirements, or to explore all areas of the theatre curriculum.

The program focuses on learning through active participation in all aspects of performance and production. Students have many opportunities to act, direct, design, and work backstage on productions. From the first year to the last, active participation is an essential part of the student’s learning experience.
