Theatre Major The theatre major is a rigorous, ensemble-based degree program within a liberal arts setting. Students focus on all areas of theatre, including the following: acting for stage and screen, directing, design, dramaturgy, musical theatre, and technical theatre. The program promotes creativity, innovation, critical thinking, entrepreneurship, and community engagement through theatre performance and production.

The theatre major prepares students for graduate school; jobs in the arts and entertainment industry; and a variety of careers that employ experienced critical thinkers, communicators, and innovative collaborators.
