What You'll Learn as a Theatre Major at Marietta College

In addition to completing a liberal arts core curriculum, BA Theatre majors prepare for success in various fields by completing a rigorous course load that begins with the Theatre Core — classes required of all Theatre majors.

In this program, students become well-rounded artists by studying acting, technical theatre, design, history, and directing. Theory meets practice as students apply their classroom knowledge to the various productions and activities beginning in their freshman year. Those involved in productions earn academic credit hours through our practicum courses.

Students complete a theatre internship to employ those skills professionally and culminate their Marietta College education with a capstone project to show how their theatrical skills naturally integrate with other areas of study to result in a unique, marketable whole.
