Of all the fine arts, theatre offers the widest range of opportunities for employment. The study of law, philosophy, sales, management, hotel and resort recreation is enhanced by a background in the theatre arts and requires applicants to provide evidence of training and study in the field of theatre arts. The theatre emphasis includes the major areas of performance studies, acting, directing, design and technical practice. Under the direction of talented and experienced faculty, students may participate in a wide variety of performance experiences across the spectrum of the arts, including performance art, opera, classical and contemporary theatre, dance, musicals, children's theatre and experimental work. Productions are often conceived from an interdisciplinary perspective.
Opportunities exist for students to participate in international theatre programs.
