Theatre Major - Technical Theatre Concentration (B.A.)

Through the integration of courses, productions, workshops, and other activities, the Theatre Program provides students with an understanding of the theoretical, historical and cultural aspects of theatre. Our program fosters critical, creative, and analytical thinking. The Theatre program challenges students to collaborate. Successful students will be able to apply that which is learned in the classroom to the work done on program and departmental productions. Upon graduation, our majors are prepared for careers in theatre, studies at the graduate level or further training at professional schools. Academic coursework leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree with an emphasis in performance, writing, technical theatre, or musical theatre.

Students majoring in theatre with a technical theatre concentration are required to fill out the technical portion of the audition form for all theatre and musical theatre program productions. Students are not, however, required to accept a position with all productions.
