THEATRE PRODUCTION MAJOR
The B.A. in Theatre Production is designed for those students who
are interested in learning about the production areas of the theatre,
i.e., Costume Production, Stage Management and Technical Production,
and who desire the opportunity to explore these production areas
through the prescribed course work and laboratory experiences of
a major. Students' practical experiences in the production areas
described above will include participating in the production of plays
of the Professional Theatre Training Program.
THEATRE MINOR
The Theatre Department also offers a theatre minor designed to deepen
the student's appreciation of the theatre as a liberal art. The courses
are designed to give the student a foundation in the viewing of theatre,
as well as the art and craft of the theatre. Students interested
in performance opportunities should contact one of the amateur theatre
groups on campus:
Contributions to the "Cultural Life " of the Campus
The Professional Theatre Training Program (PTTP) confers the Master
of Fine Arts degree. Through its production offerings, the PTTP provides
an extraordinary cultural resource to the student body by affording
undergraduates the opportunity to see quality productions of the
major plays and playwrights that comprise our dramatic heritage.
The PTTP also provides the University with a variety of general
education courses in theatre designed to expand appreciation for,
and future participation in, theatre. These courses are regularly
taught by members of the nationally respected faculty of the PTTP.
