The Department of Theatre Arts offers courses in Acting, Script Analysis, Theatres of Diversity, Dance, Film, Technical Theatre and Performance. Theatre students learn how to act and interact freely and spontaneously, develop strong focus and concentration, work cooperatively with scene partners and in groups, and express themselves with clarity and confidence. Each fall, students have the opportunity to act in a fully staged theatre production.
