Theatre students at Elmhurst College choose from six different areas of concentration: acting, directing, theatre design and technology, stage management, theatre arts administration, and general theatre.
In each, you’ll be immersed in the theory and history of drama and stagecraft and put your skills into practice. You’ll study with adjunct faculty who work as theatre professionals. You’ll participate in the American College Theatre Festival. You’ll prepare for an entry-level position in the profession, or for intensive study on the graduate level.
The major in theatre requires eight core courses and five and one-half courses in an area of concentration, including applied theatre. While an audition is not required for admission, students should consult with theatre faculty before beginning the program.
