The Acting Program At...

  The primary goals of the Department of Film, Television, and Theatre are to inspire intellectual inquiry and nurture creativity.

We offer both a scholarly and a creative context for the general liberal arts student at Notre Dame as well as those students seeking intensive preparation for advanced study in these fields.

The hands-on nature of our curriculum, coupled with a very high degree of student-faculty interaction, provides students with a singular educational opportunity at a university known for its teaching excellence.

DeBartolo Performing Arts Center:

This 150,000-square-foot building with five state of the art performance venues opened in 2004. The Center ensures that students have the facilities needed to create and give life to their art. Students have opportunities to become involved in various forms of performance, see world renowned actors live on stage, and view the latest thought provoking films on screen.

Equipped with its own costume shop, editing studios, rehearsal hall, makeup studio, recording studio, lighting lab, creative computing lab, dressing rooms, and classrooms, all aspects of an arts project can be completed under one roof. Students, faculty, and the surrounding South Bend community have the privilege to explore the arts in the beautiful DeBartolo Performing Arts Center that Stage Directions magazine calls, "the new pride of Notre Dame."
