Students in the program earn a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major or minor in the theatre. They master skills in both theatre performance and production. Frequent productions allow students to apply skills they learn in class. Students are involved in directing, lighting, makeup, costuming, set design and construction, and publicity. The School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences offers scholarships to high-school graduates who have proven their dedication to theatre.
All scholarships are renewable for four years.
Scholarship students participate in all mainstage shows. Auditions and interviews for scholarships and work opportunity in theatre are held at the Georgia State Thespian Convention each February, at Berry College each January and February, and at the Southeastern Theatre Conference each March. The college enrolls approximately 1,700 undergraduate students who benefit from an academic program that combines a challenging curriculum, practical work experience, and the opportunities to develop religious values. Situated on a 28,000-acre campus, Berry provides an unparalleled living and learning experience. This departmental site is maintained by the Berry College Theatre Department.
