Fine Arts Theatre - Loyola University Maryland

Fine Arts Theatre from Loyola University Maryland is a Campus Bachelor Theatre degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. Through the teaching of theatre , Loyola seeks to produce well-rounded students able to synthesize theory and practice, body and mind, interpretation and action. Students may declare a fine arts major, minor, or interdisciplinary major with a concentration in theater. Our goal for students interested in theatre is to prepare them for the rigorous demands of working in professional theatre , further study at the graduate level, or to benefit students in business, speech pathology, or the social sciences. Required coursework is designed to expose students to all aspects of the collaborative process ? acting, directing, design, and dramaturgy. Plays are taught not only as literature but also as blueprints for performance. An integral dimension of Loyola's theatre program is frequent attendance at professional productions, followed by critical reflection and dialogue with mentors. Also essential to our training is required participation in our production season. We are committed to maintaining a wide range of plays, and exposing students to a wide variety of dramatic literature and production styles. Loyola has two theatres: the McManus Theatre in the Julio Fine Arts Center, a 300-seat house with state-of-the-art computerized lighting and rehearsal and dressing rooms, as well as a 100-seat blackbox theatre.
