The Acting Program At...

The Drama Department and Theatre Brookhaven give aspiring and advanced theater students the opportunity to satisfy their dramatic creativity. The hallmark of the School of the Arts’ Drama Department is hands-on training that offers students and community members numerous opportunities to learn about acting and theater, and to participate in serious theatrical productions. Study combined with actual experience prepares our drama students to continue their formal theater education at a four-year school or to begin a professional career.

Students can find a full range of acting and technical theater courses and have opportunities to participate in Theatre Brookhaven productions. Theatre Brookhaven produces two main-stage productions, two smaller productions and a summer musical for each outstanding theatrical season. The Drama Department’s course offerings include: Introduction to Theatre, Acting, Rehearsal and Performance, Stagecraft and Scene Study. Students work side-by-side with professionals to design and build sets, create costumes and produce shows.
