Theatre

The mission of the theatre program at Aurora University is to provide participants with a strong base in theatre performance, production and scholarship and instill an awareness of the viability of theatre arts across disciplines.

Students in this program develop a knowledge of theatre, from ancient to modern conceptions of the art to the practical skills of producing and performing.  The goal is to provide a strong knowledge and skill base for students to pursue graduate or professional study in theatre arts or to fill entry-level positions in the theatre industry.

In this program, students can earn a strong generalist degree or build a focused program in performance, design and production, or scholarship.  If theatre study is used as a second major or a minor, skills gained will also enhance careers such as arts organization management, education, and social work, while developing the student's ability to create personal expression. Students are encouraged to double major as well as to participate in the other programs in fine arts.
