Theatre Minor
Theatre Overview
Are you a performer? Have you always wondered about what happens backstage during a production? As a theatre student, you’ll have the all-access pass to learn first-hand how costumes, make-up, set building, actors, directors and music all come together to create incredible and meaningful moments on the stage.
Crafted with an 18-credit hour curriculum, a theatre minor is easy to add to most majors. A Theatre minor can serve as a useful addition to a major such as music, music therapy, art, psychology, business, education or other fields. This minor can be completed by campus and online students.
Theatre has a very long history at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. From musicals to drama, comedy and original plays to unique interpretations of Shakespeare, students across campus have opportunities to engage in the arts through theatre. As a theatre student, you’ll have access to the costume storage and make-up rooms in the historic Conservatory of Music, the Little Theater in Guerin Hall for one-act student productions or Drama Club events, the Green Room and guidance from experienced staff and instructors.
