In
a New Century
Our program
prepares emerging artists for innovative careers. Our approach
embraces the changing aesthetic and technology of the new century
in combination with mastering the traditional crafts of theatrical
design.
While each
student specializes in scenic, costume, or lighting design our
approach recognizes that each is part of an integrated whole.
Students study and often design in secondary design areas.
Academic
course work is structured to make you a better communicator and
analytical thinker.

One
Program for Many Careers
This interdisciplinary
approach to theatre prepares students for a vast array of design
employment opportunities. Today's theatre trained artists are
uniquely prepared for careers in traditional theatre as well as
dance, opera, television, film, themed entertainment, and the
exploding field of digital media.
Exploring
word, image and action in relation with space, costumes and lighting
prepares one for rewarding careers in theatre, television, film,
video, dance, themed entertainment and other performance.

Span
the Gap
Our program
builds bridges to a professional career. Our design faculty all
work in theatre, film, and dance here and abroad. We bring nationally
and inter-nationally known guest artists to campus to design and
teach. The final link to your professional life comes through
a paid internship at a theatre or production company of national
or international stature.
