Dinner theatre plays are staged in the Salsbury Student Union Dining Hall. In all four of the Speech Communication and Theatre major and minor programs described below, Speech 100, Fundamentals of Speech Communication, does not count toward the major or minor. The program provides students the opportunity to examine, study and practice the principles and processes of the traditional and artistic forms of human communication.
Communication is conversation, debate, discussion, persuasion and public address.
It is the interpretation of prose, poetry and dramatic literature. It is acting, directing and exploring physical theatre and television production. It is preparing for theatre, radio and television performance and production through participation in Speech and Theatre activities. With faculty guidance, each student may chart his or her own program of study to suit specific needs or goals. The student will also be required to participate in co-curricular experiences as they relate to his or her needs and goals.
