Undergraduate Information

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.
