The Acting Program At...

The Theater Department places a high value on the power of drama, particularly in performance, to celebrate humanity, to heal and to excite, to explore social, moral, political, and religious viewpoints and to challenge an audience to confront a multitude of ideas, feelings and values.

These matters are a central concern in both course work and the production of plays.

The theater department staff challenges the student to create his own plays and to act, design, and direct them.

Collaboration in production work offers the student an important opportunity to develop skills in working harmoniously and seriously with others.

In studying the significant classic and contemporary works of dramatic art and in mastering the basic crafts of performance, the theater student develops both his intellect and his technique

Theater majors and minors are required to participate in the annual season of theater productions staged by the department. The department expects that the student will work in a variety of performance areas including acting, stage managing, set and costume construction, lighting and sound, playwriting, and directing.
