Bachelor [Theatre] From Allegheny College

The curriculum offers opportunities for the performance, practice, in-depth study, and analysis of texts and techniques in each of these spheres. Students engage in production, performance, and critical cultural studies, with the objective of becoming competent and engaged artists/scholars in their fields. The department's liberal arts emphasis encourages students to develop habits of engaged citizenship, thoughtful professionalism, and a meaningful private life.

Students should consult with department faculty to discuss career options and internship opportunities. Internships sponsored by the Communication Arts department require the joint approval of a faculty liaison person and the host agency.

On the completion of their course of study, Theatre Majors should be able to:

• Situate ideas, plays and production in historical, cultural and political contexts as this applies directly to the theatre;
• Understand theatrical conventions and language including genre and styles;
• Create meaningful analytical works such as research papers and dramaturgical projects and performance and production works;
• Employ these tools in a practice of engaged citizenry.
