Students will have the artistic and academic foundation for graduate study in theatre. Students practice the concept of theatre as a collaborative art requiring cooperative attitudes of all participants. The baccalaureate degree in theatre is grounded in a generalist program in all aspects of theatre production, history and theory. To earn the degree, each major is required to maintain a portfolio. All of these materials are generated through classroom experiences or through the laboratory of theatrical production.
All materials are to be arranged and presented each year to the combined theatre faculty.
This annual portfolio review is intended to measure student growth and development during the past year both academically and as a theatre professional. The theatre program is the primary resident of the Hugo Young Theatre, a 730-seat proscenium house. The Studio Theatre is a 100-seat thrust playing space. Storage facilities adjacent to Hugo Young house stock in costumes, scenery and lighting equipment. A fully equipped scene shop is immediately adjacent to the Hugo Young stage.
