Overview

Theatre Studies and Fine Arts is offered by Niagara University. Since 1964, NU Theatre has proudly educated and entertained audiences through a variety of annual productions, giving students an artistic playground for growth and development and a heightened sense of purpose in their artistic pursuits.

Key Facts

One-on-one mentorship with theatre faculty gives increased confidence – both on- stage and offstage – throughout every step of the experiential learning process. Our unique curriculum fuses a conservatory approach to theatre training with a liberal arts education. NU’s theatre programs require an intense schedule and disciplined focus on both academic coursework, and practical production experience.

Not only will Performance students take classes in acting, voice, and dance & movement every semester, but also will be required to take specialized performance courses in commedia dell’arte, dialects, directing, physical theatre, speech, stage combat, and much more.
Under the guidance of working professionals, Design and Production students focus not only on the studio/classroom coursework, but also receive practical, individualized training in all aspects of theatre design: costumes, lighting, scenery, and sound.
Students exploring career paths other than performance or design and production may choose a theatre specialization. Specialization students spend their first two years in the BFA Performance program and transfer into the Specialization program to begin their focused coursework. Each student in the Theatre Specialization program creates a two-semester Senior Seminar project, tailored to their interests.
