Our Theatre curriculum provides comprehensive training across all areas: acting (stage/screen), directing, design, dramaturgy, and technical theatre. You'll develop strong communication, learn how to identify historical periods and styles, and gain practical technical skills in costuming, lighting, set design, and construction. You’ll also engage with a diverse community of performers and behind-the-scenes technicians as you create productions that attract audiences from across the university and the local community.
Whether you choose a concentration in Acting for Stage and Screen, Musical Theatre, or Design and Technical Production, our on-campus costume and scenery shops, dance studios, music labs, and design studios let you connect your stage work with technical experience.
