Ours is a performance-oriented
program offering undergraduates unparalleled opportunity to perform
in major department productions beginning their first year. We have one
of the most integrated theatre and dance majors in the state, which means
our theatre graduates develop excellent movement skills. Musical Theatre
students take a dedicated ensemble class every quarter for two years.
Dance students develop significant stage production skills, preparing
them for choreography in the contemporary dance world and especially Dance
Theatre.
We produce plays and dance in foreign nations. Since 1990 our students
have traveled to such countries as Slovakia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic,
Ireland, and Scotland. Our Children’s Theatre productions are performed
for 10,000 children, parents, relatives, and teachers each year. Former
students work professionally not only in acting, but in technical, design,
and teaching positions across the country, including costumes, scenery,
lighting, production management, stage management, sound, and props. Annual
gifts of over $10,000 support student participation in our international
touring program.
Don’t just think of a Theatre Arts degree as preparation for a performance
career. Theatre graduates also excel in many business and management positions
in a wide range of industries.
