Overview

The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre program is one of only two offered by Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the country and is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Theatre (NAST). Black Broadway nationally ranked our program as one of the top five for African American students.

The program

The Professional Theatre (Theatre Technology) program from North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University presupposes that entering students have little or no background in technical theatre and design. Therefore, we introduce them to design and provide technical background in the crafts.

Every student technician spends at least one semester as a costumer, master carpenter, shop foreman, master electrician, stage manager, sound technician, properties master, costume master, and assistant technical director.

During those semesters, the student is given full responsibility for the areas assigned him/her, with ample assistance from the faculty.

Each student serves a senior directing project as the studio theatre’s technical director, allowing him/her the experience of personnel management, purchasing, and scheduling.
