Theatre

60 credit hours

An emphasis in Theatre introduces students to the aesthetic and analytical elements of theatrical productions. It offers a full curriculum of theatre study including work in beginning and advanced acting, musical theatre, voice and diction, stage and lighting design, costume design and stage makeup, theatre history and script analysis, and specialty courses in circus skills, stunt work, stage combat, stage management, and acting for the camera. The labs enable students to have hands-on experiences through performances, as well as shop and crew assignments. Studies include contemporary theories and classical aspects of theatrical productions.

The Theatre Program has been nationally ranked among the top 50 collegiate drama programs and was the 1996 national champion of collegiate drama. Theatre Program faculty and students have diverse experience in professional stage and motion picture work.

The state-of-the-art theatre facility is comprised of three separate performance spaces including the 350-seat John Anthony Theatre, the 120-seat Black Box Theatre and the intimate ALT Lab Theatre. The multi-million dollar complex also houses two dressing rooms, a theatre box office, a costume vault and construction shop, a scene and paint shop, in addition to numerous acting and directing classroom spaces.
