The Theatre Arts major blends hands on experience in production with foundational training and advanced study. A core liberal arts base of coursework serves intermediate and advanced study in the classroom, rehearsal room, studio and theatre. Students have the option to specialize in one or more of three areas of emphasis (performance/production; design/tech; history, dramaturgy and criticism). Faculty advised capstone experiences, directed studies and special projects complement coursework. All majors are mentored by leading professionals who are also passionate teachers. Theatre Arts majors regularly work alongside faculty, graduate students, teaching artists and professional guests.
