Theatre Arts students are strongly encouraged to participate in department productions and activities. As an applied art form, theatre requires the constant practice of growing skills. Students are expected to be artist-practitioners.
Student opportunities in theatre range from acting, design, scenic, properties, and costume construction, lighting, and theatre management. Auditions for acting in productions are open to all theatre students. Design opportunities are assigned after the basic design sequence is taken and a student has worked on a show as a design assistant. Stage management assignments are handled in the same method.
