Theatre BA

What to Expect in the Theatre Major

• Put theory into practice as you take what you learn in the classroom and apply it directly to ongoing productions.
• Study the role of the theatre and the theatre artist in today’s society.
• Immerse yourself in costume and set design, writing, acting, music, lighting, sound and so much more.

Theatre Courses

The theatre program incorporates both theoretical and practical application of theatrical study and theatrical practice. The major in theatre seeks to foster a sense of wonder and excitement in students and community members, while continually asking: what is the role of the theatre and theatre artist in society, whether it be campus, a city, the nation or the world?
