Theatre Arts - Lawrence University

Theatre Arts from Lawrence University is a Campus Bachelor Theatre degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. Students arrive at Lawrence with a wide variety of theatre experiences and nearly as wide a set of expectations. Most have had a high-school experience of working in theatre productions. Some see their college years as the first step toward a career in theatre . Others see theatre as a rewarding co-curricular activity to complement their college experience, and they hope to continue enjoying that involvement. To meet the interests of the first group, the Department of Theatre Arts has designed a curriculum that allows each student to deepen his or her general knowledge of the field while beginning the process of specialization within a particular focus area. To meet the expectations of the second group, auditions and other production assignments are open to all students, regardless of their major. Because the study of dramatic art requires a grounding in the study of production methods, past and present, and must be intimately connected to and supported by the study of theatre history and dramatic literature of various periods, the department has developed a core in those areas required of all majors. Additionally, students are invited to further explore an area of concentration or to continue a generalist's study of dramatic art. Areas of concentration include performance; design and technical theatre; and dramatic theory, history, and literature. We expect our majors to contribute to each area of the curriculum, to integrate their whole liberal arts exploration into their theatre studies, and to consistently participate in production ? on stage, backstage, and in dramaturgical preparation.
