The study of theatre at Seattle Pacific University exposes you to a broad cross-section of dramatic literature, as well as to production experience. An extensive performance schedule is divided among mainstage, studio, laboratory and touring productions. Students -- both majors and non-majors -- make up the casts for these productions, and are also involved in directing, set and costume design, lighting, stage management, and promotion and publicity.
Top-Quality Resources
You'll find that SPU's theatre program is strengthened by outstanding resources like E.E. Bach Theatre, one of the city's finest small theatres, as well as a studio theatre, make-up lab, costume shop, scenic design studio and set construction shop. Local professionals and guest artists regularly interact with students in the classroom and the production process.
Real-World Results
Career opportunities for graduates extend into all areas of theatre and arts management. For instance, one recent graduate has designed costumes for performers such as famed tenor Placido Domingo; another has gone on to study acting under Arkady Kats, one of Russia's premier stage directors.
