Theatre - Emory and Henry College

Theatre from Emory and Henry College is a Campus Bachelor Theatre degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. The mission of the Theatre Department is to provide students with rigorous pre-professional theatre training within the context of a traditional liberal arts college education. The degree options offered by the Theatre Department are designed to equip students with the skills required to succeed in the professional theatre, graduate school, and a wide range of vocations. Our Uniqueness The Emory & Henry Theatre Department operates in association with the Barter Theatre, a professional LORT C Equity company located in Abingdon, Va., ten minutes away from the E&H campus. This association offers theatre majors opportunities for professional internships, mentoring, workshops, and master classes throughout their college career. Barter staff members often serve as adjunct faculty and guest artists in the Theatre department In addition, E&H theatre majors have the opportunity to attend professional rehearsals, participate in ?talk backs? with the actors and crew after Barter performances, and serve as understudies in Barter Theatre productions. The Emory & Henry Theatre Department offers students the combined strengths of a small liberal arts college and the type of pre-professional experiences often found only in large conservatories. Our Growth The E&H Theatre Department has seen remarkable growth since it was established. The departmental goal is to maintain a department of fewer than 70 students in order to ensure the personal attention resulting from a low student/faculty ratio and provide students ample opportunities for practical experience. Areas of Specialization In addition to its broad-based General Theatre major and minor, the Theatre Department offers separate ?tracks? in four areas of specialization: acting, directing, musical theatre , and production/ design. Each of these pre-professional tracks is a separate, sequence based training program with specialized course work in the chosen area. Both the General Theatre major and the four specialized tracks combine in-depth academic preparation with extensive production work. View more details on Emory and Henry College .
