Theatre majors are involved in the full production experience and become well-rounded theatre artists.

We are a hands-on program that creates a culture of engagement that unites theory and practice, extends the learning environment beyond the classroom, and develops an appreciation for the historical and contemporary global diversity of theatre and performance.
