The theatre program at Virginia Wesleyan College is a creative, yet challenging educational program. On stage and in the classroom, theatre students gain experience in virtually any and all aspects of theatre. Students encounter a wide variety of practical, theoretical, and critical perspectives on theatre and dramatic literature from Ancient Greece to the present. The multi-faceted nature of the program covers a variety of specialties to assist the artist in adapting to an exciting and fast-paced profession.
At various times throughout the program, students will be required to meet with faculty members to assess their development as an artist and plan for their future involvement in the Senior Capstone Experience. The Capstone Experience is a system of study tailored to the needs of each individual student. This process of study requires that theatre majors complete advanced creative and scholarly work to prepare them for future employment in the field or graduate school.
