Overview

The Bethany College - West Virginia Theatre program animates the Liberal Arts traditions of critical thought, pursuit of truth and excellence. Successful completion of the major will provide the student the ability to contextualize wisely, apply various techniques to performance, and most importantly, develop skills enabling life-long growth.

Key Features

Classroom work combines acquiring knowledge of the cultural significance of theatre with physical, visual, literary and vocal methods of expression. The mainstage performance season prides itself on daring to do plays people should see rather than the merely popular. In addition to departmentally produced plays, students receive full support in self-generated productions.
Many graduates pursue further training at the graduate level, or have attained success in related careers. Others have initiated their own projects/theatres. Several have become theatre educators or artistic directors. And one has won an Oscar, an Emmy, a Tony and a Golden Globe Award.
