Performance
Bachelor of Arts in Theatre: Performance Concentration
Our Performance concentration includes courses in acting, speech, and movement along with electives in classes such as directing, puppetry, and dance. This training in a variety of methods is combined with the opportunity to gain stage experience in our mainstage productions, student-directed one-acts, student films, and other events such as our staged readings during the academic year. These performance opportunities allow you to hone your craft by applying what you have learned in the classroom to the stage and screen.Along with the Theatre Core classes, performance majors also take required Performance and elective classes to prepare you for a career or graduate study as an actor on stage or film.
Other performance opportunities
Our small class sizes, close knit community, and dedicated faculty will give you the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed as a theatre artist. Along with mainstage shows, we also offer masterclasses and workshops to develop new skills, and opportunities such as a touring TYA show every other year. Recently, a group of our students performed as part of the Capital Fringe Festival in Washington, DC as the Flying Blind Theatre Ensemble with an original devised piece, The Country Co-Ed.
