Founded in 1993, the African American Theatre Program is committed to staging works by new and established African American dramatists.
Read moreAs part of the College of Arts and Sciences, the Theatre Arts Department is committed to a liberal arts education for undergraduate students. The ancient art of theatre is most fully understood and exists at its deepest and most intimate level through the creation of performances shared with an audience. Doing so demands a deep array of knowledge and skill combined with a professional attitude and work ethic that can serve students throughout their lives in whatever profession they choose.
We believe that these goals, abilities, and attitudes should be evident daily in both our classrooms and our rehearsal rooms. Students who internalize this way of thinking and working are prepared extraordinarily well for any goal they pursue in the future.
The Theatre Arts department fosters creativity, collaboration, discipline, and artistic growth in its students and embraces the theatre as a means of creative expression, cultural understanding, social development, and historical perspective.
The University offers a B.S. in Theatre Arts which trains students in the fine art of theatre, voice, movement, scene study, and design and also teaches the historical and literacy context of the theatre as a humanist and liberal art. This knowledge includes the ability to understand the theatre arts, to appreciate them, and to create works of art that enhance the human condition. All students are exposed to the diversity of multicultural theatre.
