Welcome to the Department of Theatre!

The Department of Theater Arts offers a Theatre Major that is both comprehensive and flexible for a wide range of dramatic talents and artistic careers.

The major stresses general knowledge of the field and development of the skills that lead to effective personal and professional application of knowledge.

Theatre majors, regardless of their specific career goals will come to understand the full range of elements comprising the theatrical experience from performance to direction, from technology to design grounded in an understanding of dramatic history and literature.

At Monmouth, a student has the opportunity to participate in all aspects of theatrical production. There are credit and non-credit opportunities. If your goal is to act on stage or work behind the scenes, at Monmouth you can do it here! Approximately 120 students per year participate in our productions.  Students in the Monmouth College Theatre program are trained in theatre history, acting, directing and technical production, and opportunities exist for them to design or direct mainstage productions.
