A Bachelor of Arts in Theatre will allow you to indulge your passion for the stage while providing you with a firm foundation for a life in the theatre. The program of study includes courses common to all majors in acting, directing, stagecraft and script analysis. Students also select an area of concentration from the performance, design and technology, or management tracks. In these concentration areas, we offer specialized coursework in voice, movement, camera acting, design, video production and related fields such as art, music, dance and dramatic literature. Through theatre labs, workshops, and directed studies our students hone their skills in acting, directing, design, stage management, and theatre management.

Entertainment is the fastest growing industry in America. The business requires dedication, discipline and hard work. A theatre degree is your first step in a career on stage or backstage, on screen or behind the camera, as well as in the box office, the publicity department, the scene and costume shops, the sound booth and the light grid. The professional stage and screen, which includes regional theatres, video, and local television, are obvious employers of trained actors, designers, directors and technicians. The entertainment and tourist industries, trade show companies, United States National Park Service and various public relations firms specializing in events programming also provide a growing number of employment opportunities for trained theatre professionals.
