The theatre major is comprehensive and balanced, incorporating the history of theatre and drama, performance, and the development of a play from script through opening night. You learn to understand a theatrical event as a complex unit -- with literary and historical roots and translated into performance by playwrights, actors, directors, and designers.
The curriculum includes acting, directing, stage design, the history and literature of theatre, and the relationship of theatre to other aspects of culture.
Throughout the year, students present performances -- ranging from one-acts to mainstage productions -- in Kline Theatre and Stevens Theatre. Another noteworthy resource is the Majestic Theater, a revitalized historic landmark and former vaudeville stage, which hosts a variety of theatrical productions for the College and the surrounding community.
