Overview

Since its earliest forms, the theatre has been a space for discourse, engagement, and entertainment through public assembly as artists work collectively to communicate stories, teach empathy, and impact communities. Theatre isn't something you simply learn about, it's something you do.

The Theatre Arts major at Oregon State University involves a dynamic and engaging process that emphasizes the exploration of the complexities of the human condition through engaged study and active collaborative performance. Theatre Arts students are challenged to think critically about the historic and cultural resonances of the theatre while building upon that tradition in practice.

Through a combination of course work and participation in University Theatre productions, Theatre Arts students develop skills in collaboration, leadership, project management, critical thinking, and creative problem solving.
