The Department of Theatre and Dance in the School of the Arts offers a degree in theatre that leads to a bachelor of arts and a degree in musical theatre that leads to a bachelor of fine arts. Much of the training is accomplished through practical experience—designing lights, sets, costumes or sound for a production, performing, stage managing, and directing. These activities culminate in main stage theatre productions, experimental plays, musicals and theatre for young audiences. Theatre majors can focus on a design track or an acting/directing track. The department also offers minors in theatre, film and dance.
