About the course

As a student in Duquesne’s Department of Theater Arts whether majoring or minoring you’ll study various aspects of theater, such as acting, directing, playwriting, stage design and technical production. You’ll take core courses in theater history, theory and criticism, through which you’ll gain a broad understanding of the history and evolution of theater, as well as the theoretical concepts and critical perspectives used to analyze and interpret theatrical works. As a theater arts major, you’ll examine and experience the relationship between drama as literary artifact and drama as performance, and you’ll learn the skills necessary to translate the written word into a living, breathing, dynamic art. You’ll work on the technical side of dramatic presentation, developing invaluable problem-solving skills, building leadership qualities and learning to work successfully in a team environment. You’ll also learn unique skills that will keep you calm in a crisis, keep your mind flexible, make you versatile and courageous and train you to have a critical eye. Our Theater Arts majors and minors explore the world of theater through acting, directing, playwriting, stage design, and technical production. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
