Theatre

The minor in Theatre allows students the opportunity to receive formal performance training, production experience, and an overview to the study of theatre as a cultural phenomenon. The curriculum consists of basic aspects of production, history, and play analysis. Students minoring in theatre also have the opportunity to take performance-based courses (such as acting and directing), traditionally academic courses (such as theatre history), as well as credit for working on productions either on stage or in technical positions. In order to complete the minor, students must complete 20 credit hours in theatre or theatre-related courses (such as English or other departmental classes with a focus on either theatre history, theatre practice, or dramatic literature); many of the courses are listed below. At least eight hours must be completed in formal course work. No more than twelve credit hours may consist of performance/production credit.
