The
Department of Theatre offers a major
and minor in theatre. The art of theatre depends upon
knowledge of the entire process of theatrical production.
To that end, the theatre curriculum includes courses
emphasizing the interdependence of all aspects of production:
acting, directing, and technical theatre. The program
will advance students toward mastery of the creative
areas of theatrical production; provide students opportunities
to acquire and apply the art of theatre; prepare students
for careers in education, acting, directing, technical
theatre, and graduate study in theatre arts. Students
also benefit from field placements with regional professional
companies as well as experience in on-campus productions.
Competitive auditions are open to all members of the
college community, regardless of major.
Productions are presented in Klinger-Neal Theatre which
features variable performance space allowing for proscenium,
thrust, and arena staging. A computerized lighting system
enhances the students’ wide range of performance,
design, and technical opportunities.

Theatre (B.A.)
