Theatre Program Skip to navigation links Mission Statement Theatre at Florida Gulf Coast University provides students with opportunities to experience performance and production as audience members, as avocational performers or technicians, and as artists completing a major in theatre to prepare themselves for graduate study or professional work.
Live theatre is central to our program of study, which stresses learning through involvement.
Productions are chosen to permit as many students as possible to participate. Courses are designed to assist students in acquiring skills, knowledge, and appreciation of theatre while providing them with abundant opportunities to gain insight, technique, and experience as performers, designers, technicians, playmakers, and creative artists. All students pursuing the theatre major fulfill the same core requirements. However, as students advance in their studies they may choose to follow one of several focused elective paths being developed. Students can choose electives from one or more of these elective paths, depending on their interests and career aims.
