The focus of the program is to provide artistic preparation and exploration for a broad range of individual interests-from those who desire to influence professional theatre to those who plan to use theatre in ministry or education. Within the liberal arts setting, the department also seeks to develop educated and artistically sensitive audience members capable of perceptively interacting with all manner of productions from a Christian worldview.
In order to accommodate specialized interests in theatre arts, the major is divided into three emphases: acting / directing, technical / design, and musical theatre. While integrating the Christian faith throughout each specialization, analysis and production of dramatic literature from ancient classics to modern experimental pieces enrich the study of theatre at Bethel University. |
