The Theatre Studies Concentration is a newly established program that is designed for the theatre student/scholar who wishes to pursue both theatre academics and theatrical production. This program of study will prepare its graduates for further study in graduate school or a career in the professional field.

The Theatre Studies program offers a wide variety of theatre classes that encompass all discipline areas available to the theatre student. The Theatre Studies degree program has 45 hours of required and elective concentration credits, including classes in acting, stagecraft, playscript analysis, directing, stage management, costume design, dance, musical theatre history, theatre in film, theatre history, playwriting. Given the collaborative nature of theatre, we also encourage our students to explore classes and activities outside the School of Theatre Arts and Dance. This exploration might include such classes as Intro to Music, Art Appreciation, Contemporary Art Connections, Great Ideas in the History of the Arts and the Shakespeare in Context classes.

Other opportunities available to the Theatre Studies student include:

Auditioning for mainstage, Little Theatre of the Rockies, one-acts and other productions of the School of Theatre Arts and Dance as well as productions for theatre groups located off-campus.
Performing Staged Readings produced by the School of Theatre Arts and Dance.
Dramaturgical work on School productions

Admission Requirements:
A high school grade point average of 3.00; an on campus or telephone  interview; a 300 word typewritten essay, describing why you would be interested in pursuing a theatre degree with specialization in one or more of the following areas of interest:  Theatre Studies, Directing; Theatre Education (Secondary); Technical Design (Scenic Design, Costume Design, Lighting Design, Sound Design, Properties); or Technical Management (Technical Direction, Stage Management, Master Electrician)
