Bachelor [Theatre Arts] From Marquette University

Drama, comedy, music, dance

As a theatre major, you'll develop your craft starting in your first year through five main-stage productions, as well as dance concerts and studio productions. Performance opportunities range from the classics to experimental theatre, musicals and contemporary pieces. At least one play per season is centered on social justice.

Master the technical aspects of screen and stage

Choose from a wide selection of courses in acting and directing for stage and camera, as well as theatre history, scenery, lighting, dance and costume design.

Get personal

The theatre major provides the opportunity to work on our main stage with professional actors, directors and designers. Acting and performance classes average 12 to 14 students; technical design and management classes average 10.

Minutes from the theatre district

Marquette's location, mere blocks from Milwaukee's theatre district, allows theatre major students to collaborate or intern with professional companies such as the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, the Chamber Theatre, First Stage, Renaissance Theatreworks, Next Act and the Boulevard Ensemble.

Setting the scene

John Bobek, a 2004 alumnus, has made appearances on shows such as How I Met Your Mother and The West Wing. Nick D'agosto had a recurring role on Heroes and a role in Final Destination 5. Danny Pudi played a main role in the critically acclaimed Community. In four years, who knows what type of scene you'll set as a theatre major.
