BA in Theatre

The Chadron State College Theatre Studies Program's mission is to prepare students for professional and educational theatre through a comprehensive program of the practical application of knowledge bases and skills as well as sound analytical and theoretical development. Through a global perspective on theatre, its practices, and its history, students are provided the diversity necessary to their development as individuals and responsible members of world society.

The course of study is designed to prepare the student for a career in theatre and encourage personal and artistic growth in a student-centered environment that places equal value on classroom study and practical application. To this end, the program is dedicated to providing a classroom experience strong in historical, theoretical, and process-oriented work combined with extensive practical opportunities in production. Students are encouraged and expected to play key roles as actors, designers, technicians, and directors.
