The Department of Theatre and Dance offers a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre, with an emphasis in general theatre for students seeking careers in teaching, production, directing, management or performance, for students seeking careers in acting/directing or entrance into graduate MFA performance programs. It also offers an Interdisciplinary Theater/Dance Major, a minor in theatre arts and a minor in dance. Both majors and minors are for students interested in pursuing theatre as a vocation or avocation. Majors in the Department of Theatre and Dance explore a variety of dramatic texts and enjoy opportunities for intensive study and performance in an ensemble style with active participation in all aspects of theatre production, learning the skills necessary to create a balance between acting, directing, production planning and technical skills. Two special features of the major are an internship in which the student will work with one of several professional theatre organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area, and the opportunity for seniors to produce and direct or design a short play as part of the Theatre Arts Department season.
