The Bachelor of Arts in Theatre within the Department of Fine and Performing Arts at Saint Louis University creates exceptional learning experiences for the upcoming generation of leaders in the field. A theatre major’s education takes place in classrooms, studios, workshops and via the production of theatrical works.
In the classrooms, students examine the concepts, theories and ideas that define theatre and performance. In the studios and workshops, students observe, practice and refine techniques for performing, directing and designing theatre.
In productions, students apply their knowledge and technique to the creation of theatrical work. Each semester Theatre & Dance produces a season of theatrical productions. Mentored by our full-time faculty and staff and visiting artists, students execute a comprehensive range of roles on and off-stage.
Seasonal performances are both on-campus in our proscenium and studio theatres and off-campus in professional venues among the numerous theatres in St. Louis. Students benefit from studying in a city with a vibrant arts scene, where they can attend performances at places like the Fabulous Fox Theatre, located in the Grand Arts Center one block from campus; the newly renovated Peabody Opera House; and the Muny, America’s oldest and largest outdoor musical theater. Competitive students can pursue internships and professional positions with companies producing everything from star-studded operas to fringe festivals supporting independent artists.
Students who study theatre at SLU immerse themselves in creating theatre. They play lead roles in plays like Macbeth and Godspell. They call the cues for these plays in professional venues. They construct the costumes, program the lights and even design the sets. They direct each other in their own original works. They discover the meaning of theatre and performance for the world and find their roles within that meaning.
