Department of Theatre
The Theater major is designed to prepare a student to work in
professional theater as an actor, director, stage manager, scene
designer, costume designer, lighting designer, dramaturg, production
or house manager, or in the areas of publicity and promotions. In
the area of technical theater, students gain valuable experience
in scenic construction, costuming, rigging, lighting and sound. And
for students interested in graduate study in the Theatre discipline,
our program provides a solid academic foundation.
Our program encourages students to become well-rounded theater practitioners
while developing their skills in one or more advanced areas of theater
practice: acting/directing, design/production, history/dramaturgy.
This program values collaboration and high academic goals in the
learning and teaching of theatre, while still preparing students
for the realities of a competitive profession.
Our students gain authentic practice in many aspects of theatre,
including: acting, directing, dramaturgy and text analysis, stage
management, scenic, costume, make-up, sound and lighting design,
construction and fabrication of sets, props & costumes, wigs,
make-up & prosthetics, wardrobe and running crew experience;
as well as independent study, teaching assistantships, and internships.
