CDC Internships Student Groups Academics Athletics Theatre Arts Connect with Theatre Arts Theatre has always been an integral part of the liberal arts curriculum. Through the theatre people have explored their deepest fears, expressed their greatest longings and shared their most comic experiences. Today the dramatic arts are a growing part of our culture and more people than ever discuss, participate and experience drama. The techniques of the theatre are routinely merged into television, cinema, computer games, training films, store displays, museums and even trade show conventions. Course work in Theatre Arts reflects the broad appeal of drama by offering classes in acting, design, dramatic literature, film history, arts management, direction and dramatic theory and criticism.
All major students complete a senior project which is presented to the public.
The Department offers regular workshops on career preparation and development. Every year the Hamline University Theatre presents a variety of performances ranging from ancient classics to the most modern dramas. Auditions are open to the entire campus community. Performances take place in our 300 seat Anne Simley Theatre or in the Studio 67 black box space. The Department also supports a small television studio and has an active dance company.
