Theater

(Visual and Performing Arts Department)

The theater arts major is designed to attain a balance between a strong liberal-arts education and intensive study of the multidisciplinary art form of theater. The curriculum places a strong emphasis on performance as a teaching tool. Each semester professionally directed productions are presented. Students also may work with The Center for Contemporary Performance, a scholarly community of directors, composers, playwrights, choreographers, film/video makers and critics.
